655. Come, Christian Children, Come and Raise

1 Come, Christian children, come and raise
Your voice with one accord;
Come, sing in joyful songs of praise
The glories of your Lord.

2 Sing of the wonders of His love,
And loudest praises give
To Him Who left His throne above,
And died that you might live.

3 Sing of the wonders of His truth,
And read in ev’ry page
The promise made to earliest youth,
Fulfilled to latest age.

4 Sing of the wonders of His power,
Who with His own right arm
Upholds and keeps you hour by hour,
And shields from ev’ry harm.

5 Sing of the wonders of His grace,
Who made and keeps you His,
And guides you to th’appointed place
At His right hand in bliss.
