The Little Minstrel ‎#84

84. No parting there

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

Chorus:
O! that will be joyful, joyful, joyful, joyful,
O! that will be joyful, to meet to part no more.
O! that will be joyful, joyful, joyful, joyful,
O! that will be joyful, to meet to part no more.

2 Yes happy thought! when we are free
From earthly grief and pain,
In heaven we shall each other see,
And never part again. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

4 Then let us each in strength divine,
Still walk in wisdom's ways;
That we, with those we love, may join
In never ending praise. [Chorus]
