Scott Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Far above in highest heaven, Jesus reigns, our Lord and King; He His life for us has given, He did life eternal bring: Sing, then, children, sing with gladness, Loud let grateful anthems ring; Jesus is the children’s Saviour, Jesus is the children’s King. 2 Once on earth the children praised Him, And “hosanna” was their cry; Now that God to heav’n has raised Him, Loud they praise Him in the sky: Shout, then children, shout your praises, Loud let grateful anthems ring; Jesus is the children’s Saviour, Jesus is the children’s King. 3 Come, then, early, come to Jesus, As the children did of old: He from sin and sorrow frees us, Never will His love grow cold: Daily let us learn to love Him, Daily let us join to sing: Praises to our Lord and Saviour, Praises to the children’s King. 4 Then, when life’s short days are ended, If we’ve served our Saviour well, By His angels gently tended, In His kingdom we shall dwell; There we’ll shout our joyous praises, There the song of vict’ry sing: Jesus is our Lord and Saviour, Jesus is the children’s King.

Far From Mortal Cares Retreating

Author: John Taylor Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 189 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Far from mortal cares retreating, Sordid hopes and fond desires, Here, our willing footsteps meeting, Every heart to Heav’n aspires. From the fount of glory beaming, Light celestial cheers our eyes; Mercy from above proclaiming Peace and pardon in the skies. 2 Who may share this great salvation? Every pure and humble mind; Every kindred, tongue and nation, From the dross of guilt refined: Blessings all around bestowing, God withholds His care from none; Grace and mercy ever flowing From the fountain of His throne. 3 Every stain of guilt abhorring, Firm and bold in virtue’s cause, Still Thy providence adoring, Faithful subjects to Thy laws. Lord! with favor still attend us, Bless us with Thy wondrous love; Thou, our sun and shield, defend us: All our hope is from above.
