77. Happy Children

1 We are children, happy children,
Singing, singing as we go;
'Tis our Father's hand that leads us,
Leads us thro' this world below.

Chorus:
Glory, glory, let us sing,
Glory, glory, let us sing,
Praise to God, praise to God,
Praise to God our heavenly King.

2 Do not let the joys around us
Tempt our little feet to stray,
O our Father, kindly keep us
In the strait and narrow way. [Chorus]

3 If we try to follow Jesus,
Try to serve Him here below,
Where He lives and dwells forever,
Singing, singing shall we go. [Chorus]
