Children's Song.

Topics: classic

We little children join to praise     The Holy Child of endless days.     The Lord of glory undefiled     Was once like us a little child.     Chorus.--         "Sweetly, sweetly, sweetly singing,          Let us praise him, praise him, praise him, bringing          Happy voices, voices, voices ringing          Like the songs of the angels round the throne."     He hears the ravens when they call,     He sees the little sparrows fall,     He heard the little children sing     Hosanna to the Saviour King.             Sweetly, &c.     O Jesus, we sing to praise thee,     Who said let children come to me;     We gather round the mercy seat,     O let our songs to thee be sweet.             Sweetly, &c.     Jesus, our Master, Lord and King,     Spread over us thy sheltering wing,     Keep us unspotted, let us be     Thy children singing praise to thee.             Sweetly, &c.
