Children, sing for gladness

1 Children, sing for gladness,
Tell the world in song
Of the Saviour’s goodness,
Who forgives the wrang;
Spread the tidings everywhere,
Tell it all around,
What a loving Saviour
May by all be found.

Refrain:
Sing, sing for gladness,
Children, sing;
Sing, sing in sweetness,
For your King;
Sound out the praises
Everywhere,
Of a loving Saviour
Ever near.

2 Sing about the mercy
Of our heavenly King,
Shout aloud the victories
He for us ditl bring,
How he left his throne above,
Pain and death to bear,
To reveal Heaven’s glory
And to lead us there.

3 Sing aloud of Heaven,
Where the holy go,
Who through Jesus’ power
Conquer every foe;
There in songs unbroken,
Bowed before his face,
Sing ‘mid bliss unspoken
Of his wondrous grace.
