Text: | Children of Jerusalem |
Author: | John Henley, 1800-1842 |
Tune: | INFANT PRAISE |
1 Children of Jerusalem
sang the praise of Jesus’ name;
children now, in every place
join to sing the Saviour’s praise.
Refrain:
Hark! hark! hark! the children's voices sing,
Hark! hark! hark! the children's voices sing
loud hosannas, loud hosannas,
loud hosannas to our King.
2 Teach us now to love you, Lord;
teach us how to read your word;
teach us all the ways of heaven.
Joyful praise to God be given. [Refrain]
3 Parents, teachers, old and young,
all unite to swell the song,
higher and yet higher rise,
till hosannas fill the skies. [Refrain]
