Sing me a song of praise and glory 
Help this wandering child to understand 
That when I close my eyes and sleep eternal 
I'll be clinging to a saving hand. 
I want you to sing to me about the rock of ages 
Sing about eternity so sweet 
So that when I take my last breath of life 
I'll awaken at my savior's feet. 
--- Instrumental --- 
I want you to tell me about Paul and Matthew 
And sing about my dear savior's birth 
And tell about his trials and tribulations 
While he walked upon this heathen earth. 
C'mon and sing me a song of praise and glory 
And help this wandering child to understand 
That when I close my eyes and sleep eternal 
I'll be clinging to a saving hand. 
I'll be clinging to a saving hand...
