⤢ Full screenSing of Jesus, sing forever
Of the love that changes never;
Who or what from him can sever
Those he makes his own?
With his precious blood he bought us,
When we knew him not he sought us,
And from all our wand'rings brought us;
His the praise shall be.
Through the desert drear he leads us,
With the bread of heaven he feeds us,
And through all the journey speeds us
To our home above.
About this hymn
As printed As printed: hymn number «131», tune name «SUNSHINE. 8s & 5.» centred over the music, «F. E. Belden.» at the right (capitals and small capitals; the stop after the F is damaged and looks like a comma); running head «WORSHIP—ADORATION OF CHRIST.» (at the top of the page). Stanza 1 is interlinear, between the staves, one line per system, with «1.» before «Sing»; «sev - er» is set in a lighter, slightly smaller face. Stanzas 2–3 are printed as text in two columns below the music; no reference line is printed for this hymn. «Anon.» in italics at the right after stanza 3. The print sets a thin space before «?» and «;» in «own ?» and «brought us ;»; it is closed up here. Spelling («wand'rings»), punctuation and capitals are the print's; the fourth line of each stanza is indented in the print.
