9198. The Children's Psalm

1 Praise the Lord with hearts and voices,
Sing, O children, far and near;
Loudly praise till earth rejoices,
And all Heav’n bends down to hear.

Refrain:
Bells are ringing, voices singing,
Banners swinging all the time;
God the Father, God the Son,
God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be praise in psalm sublime.

2 Praise the Father—God Jehovah!
Praise the Son—our Savior, friend!
Praise the Holy Ghost, who over
Us will watch unto the end. [Refrain]

3 Up the hills of life ascending—
Oh, the many hills to climb;
Still our steps and voices blending,
Prayer and praise in cheerful rhyme. [Refrain]

4 Hope her boughs of palm to wave us,
Love to cheer the darkened way;
Faith to guide us, Christ to save us,
Lead us to eternal day. [Refrain]
