Let us sing! The angels sing,
High above the cloudless sky,
Where they see their heavenly king,
In His holy majesty.
Let us sing! the children sang
When to Sion Jesus rode;
And the stately temple rang
With hosannas to their God.
Let us sing! rejoice, rejoice!
Jesus listens while we sing,
Jesus loves an infant’s voice,
And the praises children bring.
Let sing us our hymns below!
Sing at morn, at noon, at ev’n,
Till, through Jesus Christ, we go
Sweeter songs to sing in Heav’n.
