Sing to the little children,
And they will listen well ;
Sing grand and holy music,
For they can feel its spell.
Sing at the cottage bedside
They have no music there ;
And the voice of praise is silent
After the voice of prayer.
Sing of the gentle Saviour
In the simplest hymns you know,
And the pain-dimmed eye will brighten,
As the soothing verses flow.
When you long to bear the message
Home to some troubled breast,
Then sing with loving fervour,
"Come unto Me, and rest."
Sing when His mighty mercies
And marvellous love you feel,
And the deep joy of gratitude
Springs freshly as you kneel.
Sing on in grateful gladness !
Rejoice in this good thing
Which the Lord thy God hath given thee :
The happy power to sing.
