28. The Sweetest Name

1 The sweetest name in Heav’n above,
Children sing, children sing;
Our blessed Saviour crown’d with love,
Children sing today;
The Friend whose ever watchful care
Will guard our feet from every snare,
Who loves to hear our earnest prayer,
Children sing today.

2 Salvation thro’ His holy name,
Children sing, children sing;
His mercy to the world proclaim,
Children sing today;
By Him redeemed from death and sin,
By Him redeemed and cleansed within,
Eternal life we all may win,
Children sing today.

3 With those whose trials now are o’er,
Children sing, children sing;
With saints on yonder radiant shore,
Children sing today;
With martyrs in the heavenly land,
That round His throne in glory stand,
With all the shining angel band,
Children sing today.
