With smiles beaming,
With laughter ringing,
With feet dancing,
With voices singing,

With a deep faith,
Feeling safe and secure,
With hearts full of love
Precious and pure



Such are children,
Yes, such is the little child:
Innocent and sweet,
Tender and mild.

Like these children
May I also be too,
Wide-eyed with awe,
My faith to renew.



For as a child
We embrace God our King
And immeasurable blessings
His grace does bring.

So come, everyone,
Let us join the children’s song,
Singing with sweet joy
All the day long.



Let us have deep faith,
Feeling safe and secure;
Let us rest in God’s love
Precious and pure.

Yes, as little children,
With our laughter ringing,
Let us of our Lord Jesus
Be forever singing!
