Lyrics

Oh, sing once more of Je­sus,
Tune every heart and voice,
Proclaim His tender mercy,
And in His love rejoice.

Refrain

Sing, sing, sing once more,
Once more sing of Je­sus;
Praise His wondrous, matchless love;
Sing once more of Je­sus.

Oh, sing once more of Je­sus,
The joyful strain prolong,
While angels hover round us,
And martyrs join the song.

Refrain

Oh, sing once more of Je­sus,
And now in early youth,
Come let us walk together,
The path of life and truth.

Refrain

Oh, sing once more of Je­sus,
Our best and truest friend,
Whose hand from snares of evil
Will still our hearts defend.

Refrain

Oh, sing once more of Je­sus,
Who bends a listening ear,
From yonder world of glo­ry,
The children’s song to hear.
