SCHOOL SONG KNAPSACK.

Stop! for the home that to thee is so dear,
Stop! for the friends that to thee are so near,
Stop! for the country in trembling and fear.
  Touch not the cup, touch it not.




Help it On.

(Pat's Pick, page 106.)

3 Sharps

There's a good time coming, Help it on!
There's a good time coming, Help it on!
 Every heart its tune is drumming,
 All the air with it is humming,
Help it on, Help it on, Help it on, on, on!

There's a future on the way, Help it on!
There's a future on the way, Help it on!
 When the night shall turn to day,
 For the right shall have the way,
Help it on, Help it on, Help it on, on, on!

When you find a noble cause, Help it on!
When you find a noble cause, Help it on!
 Never wait for man's applause,
 Never count the cost, nor pause,
Help it on, Help it on, Help it on, on, on!

And when the right shall win, Help it on!
And when the right shall win, Help it on!
 There will be no want nor sin,
 And the good time shall begin,
Help it on, Help it on, Help it on, on, on!
