The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#15

15. There is a Friend we ought to love

1 There is a Friend we ought to love
More than all friends beside,
His name is Jesus--and his love
Forever shall abide,
Come, children, then, for now he lives,
And praise from little ones receives.
With lip and life, we'll praise his name,
And not forget his laws again.

Boys:
What! not forget again?

Girls:
No, not forget again!

Boys:
What!--not forget again?

Girls:
No, not forget again!

All:
With lip and life we'll praise his name,
And not forget his laws again.
