sing me a song of praise and glory help this wandering child to understand that when i close my eyes in sleep eternal i ll be clinging to a saving hand i want you to sing to me about the rock of ages and sing about eternity so sweet so that when i take my last breath of life i ll awaken at my saviour s feet i want you to tell me about paul and matthew and sing about my dear saviour s birth and tell about his trials and tribulations while he walked upon his heathen earth come on and sing me a song of praise and glory help this wandering child to understand that when i close my eyes in sleep eternal i ll be clinging to a saving hand i ll be clinging to a saving hand
