Author: George H. Spring Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O! will the glorious Saviour Lyrics: 1 O! will the glorious Saviour
Who reigns enthroned on high,
Stoop down and kindly listen,
When children to Him cry?
And when with voices blending,
They seek to hymn his praise,
Will he accept their offering?
Will he approve their lays?
2 Will He when angels worship,
With golden lyres above,
Be pleased with childish accents,
Which after forth His love?
O! yes, such strains tough feeble,
Are grateful to his ear,
When children love to praise Him,
Then Jesus loves to hear.
3 Once while on earth he lingered,
Young children gathered round,
And with Hosannas singing
Made temple walls resound,
Then Jesus smiled approving,
While others chode their lays,
And said of such 'tis written,
They have perfected praise. Used With Tune: [O! will the glorious Saviour]
