Who shall sing?

Hymnal: The Little Minstrel #57 (1867) First Line: Who shall sing, if not the children? Lyrics: 1 Who shall sing, if not the children? Did not Jesus die for them? May they not, with other jewels, Sparkle in his diadem? Why to them were voices given-- Bird-like voices sweet and clear? Why, unless the song of heaven They begin to practice here? 2 There's a choir of infant songsters, White-robed, round the Savior's throne; Angels cease, and waiting, listen! O! 'tis sweeter than their own! Faith can hear the rapturous choral, When her ear is upward turned; Is not this the same, perfected, Which upon the earth they learned? 3 Jesus, when on earth sojourning, Loved them with a wondrous love; And will he, to heaven returning, Faithless to his blessing prove? O! they can not sing too early; Fathers, stand not in their way! Birds do sing while day is breaking-- Tell me, then, why should not they?
