Crowning Day No. 4 ‎#241

241. Children’s Day

1 We’ll raise today sweet songs of joy,
With heart and voice in glad employ;
We’ll praise the Saviour, meek and mild,
Who lived on earth a little child.

Refrain:
‘Tis Children’s Day, glad let us raise
To Christ a heartfelt song of praise.
‘Tis Children’s Day, glad let us raise
To Christ a heartfelt song of praise.

2 We’d wish to walk as here He trod,
And only act as pleases God;
We’d show our love in ev’ry way,
In all we think, or do, or say. [Refrain]

3 We’d sing His love for ev’ry race,
We’d tell each how He “saves by grace;”
His name the burden of our song,
His love the theme we’d fain prolong. [Refrain]
