Far above in highest heaven Jesus reigns, our Lord and King; He His life for us has given, He did life eternal bring : Sing, then, children, sing with gladness, Loud let grateful anthems ring; Jesus is the children's Saviour, Jesus is the children's King.
2. Once on earth the children praised Him, And " Hosanna " was their cry ; Now that God to heaven has raised Him, Loud they praise Him in the sky: Shout, then, children, shout your praises, Loud let grateful anthems ring; Jesus is the children's Saviour, Jesus is the children's King.
3. Come, then, early, come to Jesus, As the children did of old: He from sin and sorrow frees us, Never will His love grow cold : Daily let us learn to love Him, Daily let us join to sing Praises to our Lord and Saviour, Praises to the children's King.
4. Then, when life's short days are ended, If we've served our Saviour well, By His angels gently tended, In His kingdom we shall dwell : There we'll shout our joyous praises, There the song of victory sing ; Jesus is our Lord and Saviour, Jesus is the children's King.
