222. Here we throng to praise the Saviour

1 Here we throng to praise the Saviour,
Cheerfully our voices raise;
He who died for our behavior,
Says he will accept our praise.
Hinder not the young from coming,
For of such the Saviour said,
Is composed my heavenly kingdom,
'Tis a rapturous thought indeed.

2 Let us love him and adore him,
In our days of feeble youth;
May we ever walk before him,
In the glorious paths of truth.
Let us never grieve the Saviour,
Who has died our souls to win;
Let us ever seek his favor,
Shunning all the paths of sin.

3 If our sins are all forgiven,
We may read our titles clear,
To eternal joy in heaven,
Far beyond this earthly sphere.
In that blest abode of glory
We may join the angel throng;
Jesus' love shall be the story
Of our never ending song.
