Verse reads
'Come children join the angelic throng
As Jesus feet who fall
Come raise with them your infant song
To crown him Lord of all
When he laid by his robes of light
And dwelt upon this ball
He kindly children did invite
To crown him Lord of all
His wondrous love did never despise
The gifts of children small
Who sung hosannas to his praise
And crown him Lord of all
And now he reigns on thrond above
He still does children call
To seek his face and them he'll love
O crown him Lord of all
Ten thousand angels round his throne
Before him prostrate fall
And num'rous children join the song
To crown him Lord of all'.
