Hymnal: The Morning Stars Sang Together #105 (1897) Lyrics: 1 Sweetly now, and sweetly ever,
Childhood's voices mingle here,
As with earnest true endeavor,
Life they seek with song to cheer.
Sweetly now, and sweetly ever,
Pleasant smiles illume each brow;
Who would wish the ties to sever
Which connect our spirits now.
2 Sweetly now, and sweetly ever,
Childhood's greetings charm each heart;
Be their youthful spirits never
Turned from truth and love apart.
Sweetly now, and sweetly ever,
May each youthful voice ascend,
"Till the music, failing never,
Shall with heavenly echoes blend. Tune Title: [Sweetly now, and sweetly ever]
Sweetly now, and sweetly ever
