Children of Jerusalem
Sang the praise of Jesus' name;
Children, too, of modern days,
Join to sing the Saviour's praise:

Hark! While children's voices sing
Loud hosannas to our King.

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:

Parents, teachers, old and young,
All unite to swell the song;
Higher and yet higher rise,
Till hosannas reach the skies:


John Henley (1800-42)
