Sing, sing, sing, sing, dear children, sing

1 Sing, sing, sing!
Sing, dear children, sing!
Roll the notes forth clear and bounding,
Sing, sing, sing!
Sing, dear children, sing!
Through the echoing halls re-sounding.
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing!
Sing, dear children, sing!

2 Watch, watch, watch!
Watch, dear children, watch!
That no sin may e'er defile you,
Or the tempting foe beguile you;
Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch!
Watch, dear, children, watch!

3 Pray, pray, pray!
Pray, dear children, pray!
That in endless joy before you,
You may join the songs of glory;
Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray!
Pray, dear children, pray!

4 Joy, joy, joy!
Nothing shall annoy.
For in heaven no foe can harm you,
Naught disturb you, or alarm you;
Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy!
Nothing shall annoy.

5 Shout, shout, shout!
Shout, dear children, shout!
For your Saviour will be near you,
With his presence he will cheer you,
Shout, shout, shout, shout, shout!
Shout, dear children, shout!
