Hymn
Come, Christian Brethren!
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.
Come, Christian Brethren! — Text from The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book, 1886. Public domain. https://yeshuanow.com/hymns/come-christian-brethren
