Scriptures
Children's Praises - Matt. 21:16
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected praise. Matthew 21:16 Andrew brightens days of gloom When he sings with face aglow; Sweet the theme of his first lay-- "Jesus loves me, this I know." Fearless in his unreserve. What though singers do appear? They encourage with a smile, Deaf to faults the well-tuned ear! Melodies may be revised, Stanzas may not always rhyme, But the tune is carried well, Set to Andrew's special time! Vocal stars in classic style Sang their arias to a king; Sweeter far this simple lisp, With the joy a child can bring. Gathered round the Saviour's feet, Loud hosannas children sang; But the leaders were displeased As the temple praises rang. Jesus spake when they complained, "From the lips of even babes- Have ye never read this word?- God hath perfected His praise." Youthful voices never quench In a world so full of wrong; Heaven and earth would poorer be, If arose no infant song. Jesus, one day in the midst, Set a child and taught that we, In forgiveness, faith, and love, Childlike only, ever be.
