The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#103a

103a. Come, children, ere we part

1 Come, children, ere we part,
Bless the Redeemer's name;
Join every tongue and heart
To celebrate his fame,--

Chorus:
Jesus, the children's Friend,
Him whom our souls adore,
His praises have no end;
Praise him for evermore.

2 If here we meet no more,
May we in realms above,
With all the saints, adore
Redeeming grace and love. [Chorus]
