Once more before we part
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A closing worship hymn attributed to Joseph Hart and Robert Stephen Hawker, calling the congregation to bless and praise Christ the Redeemer as they depart from fellowship. The final verse's framing—meeting and parting in Jesus' Name—makes it a natural benediction hymn.
Verse 1
Once more before we part,
Bless the Redeemer's Name;
Let every tongue and heart
Praise and adore the Lamb.
Chorus
Jesus, the sinner's Friend,
Him whom our souls adore,
His praises have no end;
Praise Him for evermore.
Verse 2
Lord, in Thy grace we came;
That blessing still impart;
We met in Jesus' Name;
In Jesus' Name we part.
Chorus
Jesus, the sinner's Friend,
Him whom our souls adore,
His praises have no end;
Praise Him for evermore.
Verse 3
Still on Thy holy Word
We'd live, and feed, and grow;
Go on to know the Lord,
And practice what we know.
Chorus
Jesus, the sinner's Friend,
Him whom our souls adore,
His praises have no end;
Praise Him for evermore.
