My Favorite Sunday School Songs
I remember the Sword Drills. Mrs. Frances would divide the class into two groups and ask us Bible questions. Most of the questions had to do with the Old Testament stories. She also taught us many songs that I still love to sing today.
These songs bring me such a comforting feeling. I hope we are giving our youth today some songs to hold on to and enjoy for the rest of their lives.
This photo is of my mom and me ready for Sunday School in 1958. The photo below is of Pendleton Presbyterian Church, the church we grew up in.
The lyrics that I have added here are mostly from memory or from my sister's little green book. You might know different lyrics as some of the songs vary. I have posted a great link to a site that list most of the songs and their lyrics. We usually sang these songs with hand motions so if you don't know the motions, just make them up. It makes it more fun! It would also be meaningful to teach the children the sign language for each of the songs.

My Sister's Sunday School Song Book
I have been blessed with a lot of talents but singing was not one of them. This has not prevented me from enjoying music and enjoying singing. It's just that not many people enjoy hearing me.My sisters and I often will sing our old Sunday School Songs remembering those days at Pendleton Presbyterian Church. We also have fond memories of visiting the Presbyterian Church in Ware Shoals, SC. Our grandmother and lots and lots of relatives lived there. Our Aunt Polly taught Sunday School and I loved to go to her class. Aunt Polly owned the kindergarden, "Little Red Schoolhouse" in Ware Shoals and was quite a character. I can just hear her singing "Climb, Climb Up Sunshine Mountain".
In 1980, my sister Betty compiled a little book titled "My Sunday School Song Book". I still have my copy and refer to it quite often. Betty made this book before we had personal computers so I imagine it was done on her old Royal Typewriter with carbon copies. Thank you Betty for years of enjoyment of your little book. I have used it when I was teaching Sunday School and refer back to it often now with my grandson.

Jesus Loves Me
Little ones to Him belong, They are weak but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me, Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me, The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me, He who died, Heaven's gates to open wide,
He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in.
Jesus loves me, loves me still, Though I'm very weak and ill,
From His shining throne on high, Comes to watch me where I lie.
Climb, Climb Up Sunshine Mountain
Climb, Climb Up Sunshine Mountain
Heavenly breezes blow.
Climb, climb up sunshine mountain,
Faces all aglow.
Turn, turn from sin and doubting,
Look into the sky.
Climb, climb up sunshine mountain,
You and I.

Zaccheus
Zaccheus
He climbed up in a sycamore tree, for the Lord he wanted to see.
And as the Savior passed him by, He looked up in the tree,
And he said, "Zacchaeus, you come down from there;
For I'm going to your house today, for I'm going to your house today"
Zacchaeus came down from that tree, as happy as he could be,
He gave his money to the poor, and said: "What a better man I'll be."
Be Careful Little Eyes What You See
Be Careful Little Eyes
Oh, be careful little eyes, what you see.
There's a Father up above, looking down in tender love,
So be careful little eyes, what you see.
Be careful little ears what you hear
Be careful little mouth what you say...
Be careful little hands, what you touch...
Be careful little feet, where you go...

Down In My Heart
I've Got The Joy, Joy, Joy Down In My Heart
down in my heart, (where?), down in my heart,
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, (where?) down in my heart to stay.
Chorus:
And I'm so happy, so very happy. I've got the love of Jesus in my heart. And I'm so happy, so very happy. I've got the love of Jesus in my heart
Additional Verses:
I've got the peace that passes understanding down in my heart
I've got the love of Jesus, love of Jesus, down in my heart
I've got the wonderful love of my blessed redeemer way down in the depths of my heart
Go Tell It On The Mountain
Go Tell It On The Mountain
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
When I was a seeker I sought both night and day, I asked the Lord to help me, And he showed me the way.
Go tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere, Go tell it on the mountain, Our Jesus Christ is born.
He made me a watchman Upon a city wall, And if I am a Christian, I am the least of all.
Go tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere, Go tell it on the mountain, Our Jesus Christ is born.
Do Lord
Do Lord
I've got a home in glory land that outshines the sun (HALLELUJAH!)
I've got a home in glory land that outshines the sun-way beyond the blue
Chrous:
Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me.r> Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me.
Do Lord, oh do Lord, oh do remember me-way beyond the blue.
Additional Verse:
I took Jesus as my Savior, You take Him too.
I took Jesus as my Savior, You take Him too.
I took Jesus as my Savior, You take Him too,
Yes He's Calling you.
Sunday School Medley
A Sunbeam
To shine for Him each day;
In every way try to please Him,
At home, at school, at play.
* Refrain:
A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam;
A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
I'll be a sunbeam for Him.
2. Jesus wants me to be loving,
And kind to all I see;
Showing how pleasant and happy,
His little one can be.
3. I will ask Jesus to help me
To keep my heart from sin;
Ever reflecting His goodness,
And always shine for Him.
4. I'll be a sunbeam for Jesus,
I can if I but try;
Serving Him moment by moment,
Then live for Him on high.

In The Temple
by request
In the temple, in the temple Stood a happy boy one day,
And the doctors wondered greatly at the words they heard Him say.
It was Jesus! It was Jesus! Standing in the temple there.
And the light of heav'n was shining in His face so pure and fair.
It was Jesus who was teaching and they listened to His word,
As He told them of His mission from the great and mighty Lord.
It was Jesus! It was Jesus! Standing in the temple there.
And the light of heav'n was shining in His face so pure and fair.
Let us ever then be eager to sit down at Jesus' feet
To be learning from our Saviour, and His lessons to repeat.
It was Jesus! It was Jesus! Standing in the temple there.
And the light of heav'n was shining in His face so pure and fair.
