Christ in Song ‎#248

248. Happy Songs

1 Long ago the children sang a song
Of praise to Jesus as he rode along:
"Hosanna! Hosanna!
Hosanna in the highest!"

Chorus:
Happy songs, happy songs,
Let the children sing their happy, happy songs;
Happy songs, happy songs,
Jesus loves to hear our songs.

2 As of old he loves to hear us sing
Our songs of praise to him, our heav'nly King:
"Hosanna! Hosanna!
Hosanna in the highest!' [Chorus]

3 By and by we'll sing a sweeter song
With all the saved, a glad and glorious throng:
"Hosanna! Hosanna!
Hosanna in the highest!" [Chorus]
