Children of Jerusalem Sang the praise of Jesus’ name; Children, too, of modern days Join to sing the Savior’s praise.

Hark, hark, hark, while infant voices sing, Hark, hark, hark, while infant voices sing Loud hosannas, loud hosannas, loud hosannas to our King.

We are taught to love the Lord, We are taught to read His word; We are taught the way to heaven; Praise for all to God be given.

Hark, hark, hark, while infant voices sing, Hark, hark, hark, while infant voices sing Loud hosannas, loud hosannas, loud hosannas to our King.

Parents, teachers, old and young, All unite to swell the song; Higher and yet higher rise, Till hosannas fill the skies.

Hark, hark, hark, while infant voices sing, Hark, hark, hark, while infant voices sing Loud hosannas, loud hosannas, loud hosannas to our King.
