Hark! hark! the song
From youthful voices breaking
Fresh from the heart its tuneful numbers flow;
How sweet the song
Of happy children marching
Praising the Savior as they onward go.
Hark! hark! the song
Of holy adoration
Glory to Jesus
our eternal king;
Praise ye His name
Exalt Him in the highest
Now and forever shall the anthem ring.
Hark! hark! the song
The grand old story telling
Oh
how it swells and echoes far away;
Life
love and joy
Through Him who hath redeemed us
Freely is offered in His name today.
Sing
children sing;
The song you now are waking
Long
long ago on Judah’s plain began;
When from the sky
Was heard the midnight chorus
Peace from our Father and good-will to men.
Sing
children sing
’Till forward still advancing
Rank after rank the royal standard wave;
Sing
gladly sing
The wonders of His greatness
Jesus the mighty One
the Strong to Save.
