Happy songs, happy songs,
Let the children sing their happy, happy songs;
Happy songs, happy songs,
Jesus loves to hear our songs.

Our songs of praise to him, our heav'nly King:
"Hosanna! Hosanna!
Hosanna in the highest!' [Chorus]

With all the saved, a glad and glorious throng:
"Hosanna! Hosanna!
Hosanna in the highest!" [Chorus] Topics: Children's Hymns Praising; Children's Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: [Long ago the children sang a song]
