1  Hark, round the God of love
Angels are singing;
Saints at His feet above
Their crowns are flinging.
And may poor children dare
Hope for acceptance there,
Their simple praise and prayer
To His throne bringing?

2  Yes, through adoring throngs
His pity sees us;
'Midst their seraphic songs
Our offring pleases;
And Thou who here didst prove
To babes so full of love,
Thou art the same above,
Merciful Jesus.

3  Not a poor sparrow falls
But Thou art near it;
When the young raven calls,
Thou, Lord, dost hear it;
Flowers, worms and insects share
Hourly Thy guardian care:
Wilt Thou bid us despair?
Lord, can we fear it?

4  Lord, then Thy mercy send
On all before thee;
Children and children's friend
Bless, we implore Thee;
Lead us from grace to grace,
On through our earthly race,
Till all before thy face
Meet to adore Thee.
