Lyics

COME, let us join the hosts above,

Now in our youngest days;

Remember our Creator's love,

And lisp our Father's praise.



His Majesty will not despise

The day of feeble things;

Grateful the songs of children rise,

And please the King of kings.



He loves to be remember'd thus,

And honor'd for his grace,

Out of the mouths of babes like us,

His wisdom perfects praise.



Glory to God, and praise, and pow'r,

Honor and thanks be giv'n!

Children and cherubim adore

The Lord of earth and heav'n.
