1. ’Tis sweet to sing the matchless love
Of Him who left his home above
Of Him who left his home above
And came to earth—oh, wondrous plan—

To suffer, bleed, and die for man!

And, in his own appointed way,
And, in his own appointed way,
Partake the emblems of his death,
Partake the emblems of his death,
And thus renew our love and faith.
And thus renew our love and faith.
3. Oh, blessed hour! communion sweet!

When children, friends, and teachers meet
When children, friends, and teachers meet
And, in remembrance of his grace,
And, in remembrance of his grace,
Unite in sweetest songs of praise.

For Jesus died on Calvary!,
For Jesus died on Calvary!,
That all thru him might ransomed be.
That all thru him might ransomed be.
Then sing hosannas to his name;
Then sing hosannas to his name;
Let heav’n and earth his love proclaim.
Let heav’n and earth his love proclaim.
