1 O why should not the children sing
Their praise to Him who made us free,
Till all their songs and service blend,
With those beside the crystal sea.
Refrain:
Sing sweet hosannas!
Mingling love with loftiest praise;
Sing sweet hosannas,
Till in Heaven the song we raise.
2 Sing of His love and tender care,
That leads their young and wayward feet
In ways of right and paths of peace,
To living streams and pastures sweet. [Refrain]
3 Sing in a loud and joyful lay
Our blest Redeemer’s worthy praise,
And in their songs and triumphs share
The glories of His works and ways. [Refrain]
