Children sing, glad­ly sing,
Hallelujahs to our king;
Lord of all, great and small,
At His feet with rap­ture fall;
Children sing, He is near,
Bending still His gra­cious ear;
Trust in Him, O re­joice!
Praise the Lord with heart and voice.

Refrain

Then sing, glad­ly sing.
Sing, glad­ly sing.
Till the heav’n­ly arch­es ring,
Till you hear the saints above,
Praising God, for He is love.

Journey on hand in hand,
Singing to the pro­mised land,
There is rest, there is rest,
In the king­dom of the blest;
Children sing, glad­ly sing,
Till the heav’n­ly arch­es ring,
Till you hear saints above,
Praising God, for He is love.

Refrain

Children sing, when the light
Wakes the ro­sy morn­ing bright,
When the birds’ tune­ful lay,
Hails with joy the op’n­ing day,
Praise the Lord, He has made
Verdant lawn and for­est shade.
Children sing, glad­ly sing,
Hallelujahs to our king.

Refrain

Children sing! who can tell
If the song you love so well,
May not reach one whose heart
Longs to choose the bet­ter part?
Stealing soft, like the sigh
Of a ze­phyr pass­ing by,
Children sing, ev­er sing,
Loudest praise to God our king.

Refrain
