Thread Name: Lyr Req: Here We Suffer Grief and Pain (hymn)
Subject: Lyr Add: HERE WE SUFFER GRIEF AND PAIN
From "The Infant Teacher's Assistant ... Or, Scriptural and Moral Lessons for Infants," by Thomas Bilby and R. B. Ridgway, 1834. (See Google Book Search.)

HYMN

Here we suffer grief and pain;
Here we meet to part again;–
But in Heaven we part no more.

CHORUS: O! that will be joyful!
Joyful, joyful, joyful!
O! that will be joyful!
When we meet to part no more!

All who love the Lord below,
When they die to Heaven will go,
And sing with saints above.

Little children will be there,
Who have sought the Lord by pray'r,
From every Infant* School.

Teachers, too, shall meet above,
And our Pastors, whom we love,
Shall meet to part no more.

O! how happy we shall be!
For our Saviour we shall see
Exalted on his throne!

There we all shall sing with joy,
And eternity employ
In praising Christ the Lord.

*Sunday, &c.
