Ev'ry one is dear to Him.

2 All my class! if one be missing
In the glorious gath'ring day,
How shall I account to Jesus?
What shall I with weeping say? [Refrain]

3 Daily would I walk before them,
Sinless in God's holy sight,
Pleading till His Spirit draw them,
Ev'ry one to life and light. [Refrain]
