The Little Sower for Sabbath Schools ‎#71

71. Singing of Jesus

1 The sweetest music mortals hear,
Are children's voices glad and clear,
How pure and sweet the happy song,
Before their hearts are hard with wrong,

Chorus:
Singing of Jesus, happy band.
Singing of Heaven's shining strand,
Of such my kingdom, Christ has said,
Dear blessings on the childish head.

2 In childhood's pleasant summer day,
Then learn to walk the narrow way,
At home or 'neath the quiet rule
Of this our much loved Sunday School. [Christ]

3 Be ever gentle, kind and true,
'Tis this the Saviour asks of you,
In all your deeds be ever mild,
For Jesus loves the gentle child. [Chorus]
