128. Children of Jerusalem

1 Children of Jerusalem
sang the praise of Jesus’ name;
children, too, of modern days
join to sing the Saviour’s praise:

Refrain:
hark, hark, hark! While children's voices sing,
hark, hark, hark! While children's voices sing
loud hosannas, loud hosannas,
loud hosannas to our King.

2 We are taught to love the Lord,
we are taught to read his word,
we are taught the way to heaven;
praise for all to God be given: [Refrain]

3 Parents, teachers, old and young,
all unite to swell the song;
higher and yet higher rise,
till hosannas fill the skies: [Refrain]
