African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#552

552. Children of Jerusalem

1 Children of Jerusalem
Sang the praise of Jesus’ name;
Children, too, of modern days
Join to sing the Savior’s praise.

Refrain:
Hark, hark, hark, while infant voices sing,
Hark, hark, hark, while infant voices sing
Loud hosannas, loud hosannas,
loud hosannas to our King.

2 We are taught to love the Lord,
We are taught to read His word;
We are taught the way to heaven;
Praise for all to God be given. [Refrain]

3 Parents, teachers, old and young,
All unite to swell the song;
Higher and yet higher rise,
Till hosannas fill the skies. [Refrain]

Amen.
