Representative Text

1 Jesus is the children’s King,
His joyous praises we will sing.
He has left His word our guide
To bring us safely to His side.

Chorus:
We’re coming, sound the strain,
We’re coming, sing again,
Loud the joyful chorus ring,
Children come to Christ their King.

2 We will make no vain delay,
But seek Him early on our way.
He the children’s faithful Friend
Will love us ever to the end. [Chorus]

3 Mansions bright for us to share,
He dwells in glory to prepare.
He will come for us again,
In endless life with Him to reign! [Chorus]
