Christian brethren, ere we part,
Every voice and every heart
Join, and to our Father raise
One last hymn of grateful praise.

Though we here should meet no more,
Yet there is a brighter shore;
There released from toil and pain,
Saints with joy shall meet again.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «274» (large) at the top of the right column of p. 90, with the reference line «240, 16, 339.» in bold italic figures beside it (sing to the tune of hymn 240, 16 or 339). Two numbered stanzas of four lines, all lines at the same margin (no indentation), «Henry K. White.» in italics at the end. The first word «CHRISTIAN» is set in capitals and small capitals. The print sets a thin space before «;» («shore ;»); it is closed up here. Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's. No meter is printed (the text is 7s, four lines).
