Lyrics
-
1. 'Tis sweet to sing the matchless loveOf Him who left his home aboveAnd came to earth--oh, wondrous plan--To suffer, bleed, and die for man!
-
2. 'Tis good to meet each Sabbath dayAnd, in his own appointed way,Partake the emblems of his death,And thus renew our love and faith.
-
3. Oh, blessed hour! communion sweet!When children, friends, and teachers meetAnd, in remembrance of his grace,Unite in sweetest songs of praise.
-
4. For Jesus died on Calvary!That all thru him might ransomed be.Then sing hosannas to his name;Let heav'n and earth his love proclaim.
