46. How joyful is the meeting

1 How joyful is the meeting,
Each other kindly greeting;
Sweet hymns of praise repeating,
While in the Sunday School.

Chorus:
Shout, shout, shout, we hail the Sunday School.
Shout, shout, shout, we hail the Sunday School.

2 'Tis here we join in singing,
Each heart a tribute bringing,
And loud the chorus ringing,
Hosanna to our King. [Chorus]

3 Our teachers we'll remember,
Ten thousand thanks we render,
For thoughts of us so tender,
While in the Sunday School. [Chorus]

4 But ah! life's sunny morning,
With all its sweet adorning;
Like early blossoms falling,
Will soon have passed away. [Chorus]

5 Then may we all remember,
To strive our hearts to render;
While now so young and tender,
To Christ our heav'nly King. [Chorus]
