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 Saviour 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 for ever, shall the anthem ring.
2. 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 are offered in His name to-day.
3. Sing, children, sing ! the song you now are waking, Long, long ago on Judah's plain began ; When from the sky was heard the idnight chorus, Peace from our Father, and goodwill to men.
4. Sing, children, sing, till â forward still advancing â Rank after rank the royal standard wave ! Sing, gladly sing, the wonders of His greatness ! Jesus, the mighty One, the Strong to save !
