Hymn 751 - Sabbath School Anniversary

Author: Montgomery;
Meter: L. M.

Verse 1:
From year to year in love we meet;
   From year to year in peace we part;
The tongues of children uttering sweet
   The thrilling joy of every heart.

Verse 2:
But time rolls on; and, year by year,
   We change, grow up, or pass away;
Not twice the same assembly here
   Have hailed the children's festal day.

Verse 3:
Death, ere another year, may strike
   Some in our number marked to fall:
Be young and old prepared alike;
   The warning is to each, to all.

Verse 4:
Oft broke, our failing ranks renew;
   Send teachers, children, in our place,
More humble, docile, faithful, true,
   More like thy Son, from race to race.
