Hark! Hark! the Song

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1890
Composer: Ira Sankey

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.
