Hymnal: Voices of Praise #154 (1883) Hymnal Title: Voices of Praise Lyrics: 1 Come sing with holy gladness,
High alleluias sing,
Uplift your loud hosannas,
To Jesus, Lord and King;
Sing, boys, in joyful chorus
Your hymn of praise today,
And sing, ye gentle maidens,
Your sweet responsive lay.
2 'Tis good for boys and maidens
Sweet hymns to Christ to sing,
'Tis meet that children's voices
Should praise the children's King;
For Jesus is salvation,
And glory, grace, and rest;
To babe and boy and maiden
The one Redeemer blest.
3 O boys be strong in Jesus,
To toil for Him is gain,
And Jesus wrought with Joseph,
With chisel, saw, and plane;
O maidens live for Jesus,
Who was a maiden's Son;
Be patient, pure and gentle,
And perfect grace begun.
4 Soon in the golden City
The boys and girls shall play,
And through the dazzling mansions
Rejoice in endless day;
O Christ, prepare Thy children
With that triumphant throng
To pass the burnished portals,
And sing th' eternal song.
Amen. Topics: Praise Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE
