7. Another week has passed away

1 Another week has passed away,
Time swiftly speeds along;
We come again in praise and pray,
And sing our greeting song.
We come with song to greet you,
We come with song again,
We come with song to greet you,
We come with song again.

2 We come the Saviour's name is praise,
To sing the wondrous love
Of Him who guards us all our days,
And guides to heaven above.
We come with song to greet you,
We come with song again,
We come with song to greet you,
We come with song again.

3 We'll sing of many a happy hour
We've passed in Sunday School,
Where Truth, like Summer's genial showers,
Extends its gracious rule.
We come with song to greet you,
We come with song again,
We come with song to greet you,
We come with song again.

4 Our youthful hearts will gladly raise,
Our voices sweetly sing,
A general song of grateful praise
To heaven's eternal King.
We come with song to greet you,
We come with song again,
We come with song to greet you,
We come with song again.
