Of Such Is the Kingdom Of Heaven

Heaven will be full of children

The Savior who loved them so

Will tenderly watch for the little ones

And gather them in I know

And the murmur of childish voices

And the music of little feet

Will swell through the gates of the city

And on every golden street

 

Children greeting children

Children welcoming mates

Children among the angels

Children about the gates

Children who watch for their Savior

Eager to see Him pass

Clustered upon the ramparts

Grouped on the sea of glass

 

Children with happy faces

Children with starry crown

Children before the alter

Children around the throne

Children where saints are gathered

Children where martyrs throng

Children with harp and psalter

Sing the new, new song

 

Children whose angels even

Behold the Father’s face

On the banks of the crystal river

And in every holy place

Children in heavenly mansions

Children by golden seas

Children sweetly resting

In the arms of the Prince of Peace

 

Where the tree of life drops fruitage

Where the living waters flow

Where the rose of Sharon blossoms

Where the heavenly lilies grow

Where the smile of God is brightest

And the grace of God most free

Where the angels robes are whitest

There will little children be

 

Where Jesus who redeemed them

Welcomes them in accents sweet

They will nestle in his bosom

And will cluster round his feet

From the holiest of holies

Where angels feet ne’er trod

Will the sounds of the sweetest music

Little children praising God
