Children, Hearken

Children

heark­en

hear those voic­es

How the waves of song arise;

’Tis the an­gel hosts re­joic­ing

Making glad the up­per skies.

Then we’ll sing of peace and glo­ry

Gladly sing­ing all the way;

Sing the joy­ful Christ­mas sto­ry

For ’tis Christ­mas time to­day.

Loud their gold­en harps re­sound­ed

Telling of our sins for­giv’n;

Telling how God’s love has found us

Peace for men in earth and Heav’n.

’Tis of Je­sus they are sing­ing

Of th’a­noint­ed

bless­èd One;

They to Him their of­fer­ings bring­ing

Bring them to Je­ho­vah’s Son.

Children

while the an­gels praise Him

Let us

too

our of­fer­ings bring;

Cast our life and all be­fore Him

Hallelujah let us sing.
