The Evergreen ‎#79

79. 'Tis Jesus Who Loves The Children's Name

1 Come, children, let us raise
Our cheerful notes of praise,
And with the angels, sing,
Of Christ, our Saviour King.

Chorus:
Let music, sweet music, the joyful truth proclaim,
'Tis Jesus, our Jesus, who loves the children's name.

2 We'll sing the wond'rous love,
Which brought him from above;
Which laid him in the grave,
Our guilty souls to save. [Chorus]

3 In Heav'n, O may we sing
Of Christ, our Saviour King,
And with the angels raise
Our cheerful notes of praise. [Chorus]
