Sorrow and sighing shall lee away.- Isa. 35. 10.
1 HERE we suffer grief and pain,
Here we meet to part again;
In heaven we part no more. Oh, that will be joyful! Joyful, joyful, joyful! Oh, that will be joyful, When we meet to part no more! 2 All who love the Lord below, When they die, to heaven will go, And sing with saints above. Oh, that will be joyful, etc.
3 Holy children will be there, Who have sought the Lord by prayer, From every Sunday school.
Oh, that will be joyful! etc.
4 Teachers, too, shall meet above, And our pastors, whom we love, Shall meet to part no more.
Oh, that will be joyful! etc.

I will praise Thee: for Thou hast heard me.Psa. 118. 21.
1 JESUS Christ, my Lord and King,
Help a little one to sing;
Poor as is the praise I bring, Thou wilt smile on me.
2 Children may proclaim Thy praise,
As of old hosannas raise; Now as then, their simple lays Are not scorned by Thee.
3 Blessèd Lord, enthroned above, Let me not unmindful prove Of Thy great and precious love To a child like me.
4 Love shall guide me in Thy way, Teaching me from day to day Still in all I do or say
To remember Thee.
5 May I fear to grieve Thee, Lord; May I love Thy holy Word; Find that it can joy afford, Holiest joy to Thee.
6 May I love to bend the knee, Love to get alone with Thee, Praying till Thy face I see, Lord, remember me.

Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me.- Psa. 50. 28 1 WHEN children join in singing
The mighty Saviour's praise, It is on earth beginning
The endless song to raise.
187
2 When children join in praying To Him who heareth prayer, They then are Christ obeying, Who makes a child His care.
3 When children join in learning The way that leads above, It is a step returning
Unto the God of love.
4- When children's hearts are beating With penitence within,
It is the first retreating
From ways of death and sin.
5 When children meet in heaven They will the wonder tell, That they are all forgiven,
And all escaped from hell.
6 Oh, what a happy meeting Of children in the sky!
For ever there repeating The song of praise on high.
