Dear people we have met today

Dear people we have met today

Tune: DAY OF WORSHIP
Published in 2 hymnals

Representative Text

1. Dear people we have met today,
To sing, to hear, to preach and pray;
It is our Father’s great command,
The road that leads to His right hand;

2. But Oh the sad and awful state,
Of those who stand and come too late,
The foolish virgins did begin,
To knock, but could not enter in.
