100. Parting hymn

1 How pleasant thus to dwell below
In fellowship of love;
And though we part,
tis bliss to know
The good will meet above:
The good shall meet above,
The good shall meet above;
And tho' we part 'tis bliss to know,
The good shall meet above.

Refrain:
O that will be joyful, joyful, joyful,
O that will be joyful,
To meet to part no more:
To meet to part no more,
On Canaan's happy shore,
And sing the everlasting song
With those who've gone before.

2 Yes, happy thought!
When we are free
From earthly grief and pain,
In heaven we shall each other see,
And never part again,
And never part again,
And never part again;
In heaven we shall each other see,
To meet to part no more,
On Canaan's happy shore,
And sing the everlasting song
With those who've gone before. [Refrain]us]

3 The children who have loved the Lord,
Shall hail their teachers there;
And teachers gain the rich reward
Of all their toil and care. [Refrain]
