What! not forget again?

Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #15 (1870) First Line: There is a Friend we ought to love Lyrics: 1 There is a Friend we ought to love More than all friends beside, His name is Jesus--and his love Forever shall abide, Come, children, then, for now he lives, And praise from little ones receives. With lip and life, we'll praise his name, And not forget his laws again. Boys: What! not forget again? Girls: No, not forget again! Boys: What!--not forget again? Girls: No, not forget again! All: With lip and life we'll praise his name, And not forget his laws again. Tune Title: CHILDREN'S FRIEND
