The Children's King

Representative Text

1 Now we bring our Christmas treasures,
Loving thoughts and deeds we bring.
Child-like hearts we gladly offer
To the child, the children's King;
To the Child, who, in the manger,
Lay upon that Christmas morn,
When the angels came to tell us
That the children's King was born.

2 And He lives, throughout the ages,
Lives and reigns in earth and sky;
Angel hosts still sing the glory
Of the children's King on high.
Yet He cares for children's praises;
So, with heart and voice we sing:
"Glory in the highest glory
To the child, the children's King!"

Amen.
