There are children singing

all around the world,

Happy voices ringing

out the joyful word:

We are children glowing

with the gospel light,

Standing tall, walking strong,

choosing right.

There are children leading

out in ev'ry land

Who believe in keeping

all the Lord's commands.

Like the stripling warriors,

we go forth in faith,

For we know that the Lord

is our strength.

We are children holding hands

around the world,

Like an army

with the gospel flag unfurled.

We are led by His light,

And we love truth and right.

We are building

the kingdom of God.

There are children sharing

all around the world,

Leading other children

to the gospel fold.

With the strength of youth,

we do the Father's work.

With our hearts and our hands

we will serve.

We are cov'nant children

with a gift to give.

We will teach the gospel

by the way we live.

With each word and action,

we will testify:

We believe, and we serve

Jesus Christ.

We are children holding hands

around the world,

Like an army

with the gospel flag unfurled.

We are led by His light,

And we love truth and right.

We are building

the kingdom of God.
