Songs of the Saints ‎#74

74. Oh, happy children

1 Oh, happy children who follow Jesus
Into the house of prayer and praise,
Come and join in union while love increases,
We resolve this way to spend our days.
Altho we're hated by the world and Satan,
By the flesh and such as love not God,
Yet happy moments and joyful seasons
We oft-times find on Canaan's road.

2 Since we've been waiting on lovely Jesus,
We've flet some strength come from above,
Our hearts have burned with holy rapture,
We long to be absorbed in love;
Let us sing praise for what is given,
And trust in God for time to come;
Lest, we should lose our way to Heaven,
O, fight on Brethren, we're going home.

3 And as we go let us praise our Savior,
And pray for those who spurn His grace;
Lest we should lose loves [sic] richest treasure
And never enjoy His smiling face,
Now here's my hand and my best wishes,
In token of my Christian love,
In hopes with you to praise our Savior
So farewell Brethren, We'll meet above.
