First Line: Of Him who left His home above,

Of Him who left His home above,
Children sing ! Children sing !
Our blessed Saviour crowned with love,
Children sing to-day !
Of Him whose ever-watchful care
Will guard our feet from every snare,
Who loves to hear our earnest prayer,
Children sing to-day !

2 Of joy and gladness through His name,
Children sing ! Children sing !
And peace to all the world proclaim,
Children sing to-day !
Redemption now from death and sin,
From foes without and foes within,
Of life eternal all may win,
Children sing to-day !

3 Of Him who did salvation bring,
Children sing ! Children sing I
He is our Shepherd, Priest, and King,
Children sing to-day !
Of loved ones in the heavenly land,
Who ever in His presence stand,
With yonder shining angel band,
Children sing to-day !
