Hymns for Children, 78

Come, let us our good God proclaim.
By earth and heaven adored;
Children are bid to praise His name,
And magnify the Lord.

Let us, with all His saints, agree,
With all His hosts above;
Part of His family are we,
His family of love.

Worthless are our best offerings,
Our songs are void of art;
Yet God accepts the smallest things.
Given with a willing heart.

Us, for the sake of Christ, He loves.
Who did our souls redeem;
And all our childish thoughts approves,
When offer'd up through Him.

He nmakes us His peculiar care.
While by His Spirit led;
We all His genuine children are,
And on His bounty feed.

Though men despise our infancy,
Angels attend our ways;
On us they wait, yet always see
Our heavenly Father's face.

Surrounded by a flaming host.
The bright cherubic powers,
Not all the kings of earth can boast
Of such a guard as ours.

And while the' angelic army sings,
With them we feebly join
To' extol the glorious King of kings.
The majesty Divine.
