Far Above in Highest Heaven
Author: W. H. Scott Hymnal: Elmhurst Hymnal #306 (1921) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Far above in highest heaven,
Jesus reigns, our Lord and King;
He His life for us has given,
He did life eternal bring:
Sing, then, children, sing with gladness,
Loud let grateful anthems ring;
Jesus is the children’s Saviour,
Jesus is the children’s King.
2 Once on earth the children praised Him,
And “hosanna” was their cry;
Now that God to heav’n has raised Him,
Loud they praise Him in the sky:
Shout, then children, shout your praises,
Loud let grateful anthems ring;
Jesus is the children’s Saviour,
Jesus is the children’s King.
3 Come, then, early, come to Jesus,
As the children did of old:
He from sin and sorrow frees us,
Never will His love grow cold:
Daily let us learn to love Him,
Daily let us join to sing:
Praises to our Lord and Saviour,
Praises to the children’s King.
4 Then, when life’s short days are ended,
If we’ve served our Saviour well,
By His angels gently tended,
In His kingdom we shall dwell;
There we’ll shout our joyous praises,
There the song of vict’ry sing:
Jesus is our Lord and Saviour,
Jesus is the children’s King. Topics: Children's Day; Children's Day Languages: English Tune Title: CHILDREN'S KING

Far Above in Highest Heaven
Author: W. Herbert Scott, 1862-1932 Hymnal: The Children's Hymnbook #132 (1962) Lyrics: 1 Far above in highest Heaven,
Jesus reigns, our Lord and King;
He His life for us has given;
He did life eternal bring.
Sing then, children, sing with gladness;
Loud let grateful anthems ring!
Jesus is the children’s Saviour,
Jesus is the children’s King.
2 Once on earth the children praised Him,
And hosanna was their cry;
Now that God to Heaven has raised Him,
Loud they praise Him in the sky.
Shout then children, shout your praises;
Loud let grateful anthems ring!
Jesus is the children’s Saviour,
Jesus is the children’s King.
3 Come then early, come to Jesus
As the children did of old:
He from sin and sorrow frees us;
Never will His love grow cold.
Daily let us learn to love Him;
Daily let us join to sing
Praises to our Lord and Saviour,
Praises to the children’s King.

Henry Thomas Smart
1813 - 1879 Person Name: Henry Smart, 1813-79 Composer of "REX GLORIAE" in The Children's Hymnbook Henry Smart (b. Marylebone, London, England, 1813; d. Hampstead, London, 1879), a capable composer of church music who wrote some very fine hymn tunes (REGENT SQUARE, 354, is the best-known).
Smart gave up a career in the legal profession for one in music. Although largely self taught, he became proficient in organ playing and composition, and he was a music teacher and critic. Organist in a number of London churches, including St. Luke's, Old Street (1844-1864), and St. Pancras (1864-1869), Smart was famous for his extemporizations and for his accompaniment of congregational singing. He became completely blind at the age of fifty-two, but his remarkable memory enabled him to continue playing the organ. Fascinated by organs as a youth, Smart designed organs for important places such as St. Andrew Hall in Glasgow and the Town Hall in Leeds. He composed an opera, oratorios, part-songs, some instrumental music, and many hymn tunes, as well as a large number of works for organ and choir. He edited the Choralebook (1858), the English Presbyterian Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867), and the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal (1875). Some of his hymn tunes were first published in Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861).
