205. Come, children, and join in our festival song

1 Come, children, and join in our festival song,
And hail the sweet joys which this day brings along;
We'll join our glad voices in one song of praise
To God, who has kept us, and lengthened our days.

Chorus:
Hallelujah to the Lamb,
Hallelujah to the Lamb,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Amen.

2 Our Father in Heaven, we lift up to thee,
Our voice of thanksgiving, our glad jubilee;
Oh, bless us and guide us, dear Saviour, we pray,
That from thy blest precepts we never may stray.

3 And if, ere this glad year has drawn to a close,
Some loved one among us in death shall repose;
Grant, Lord, that the spirit in heaven may dwell,
In the bosom of Jesus, where all shall be well.
