Another Round for Children

Lay Up Treasures in Heav'n

Lay up treasures in heav'n---
No moth, no rust, no robbers may destroy;
Where your treasure, there your heart shall be!

In the Temple the Children Sang

In the Temple the children sang,
And through its courts their voices rang;
Hosanna sing, Hosanna sing,
Hosanna sing to our King.
Hosanna sing, Hosanna sing,
Singing praises to our King.

Teach Us, O Lord

Teach us, O Lord, with all our heart,
With all our soul, and all our mind;
To love Thee with a steadfast love:
This Law, a statute most sublime.

And likewise to our neighbor show,
A sacrificial love like Thee;
Who offered up Thine only Son,
To bear our sin and set us free.

O Lord our God, to Thee we cry,
Have mercy on us now we pray;
Incline our hearts to keep this Law,
And lead us in the perfect way.
