For SATB choir and optional children's melody part. The text is taken from Psalm 8:2 and Matthew 21:16.  

The presence of children in a choir presentation can be quite charming and encouraging for the congregation.  

These kind of experiences for children can prepare them for a love of choral and exposure to singing with the big choir.  

Plus, as Psalm 8:2 informs us, children can have a ministry that silences the negative influence of the enemy and bring strength and encouragement to all who hear them sing praise!

The children's part in this piece of music is a simple counter melody, no parts.  You do not need an established children's choir, only a few good singers will do nicely.

Psalm 8:2  Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

Matthew 21:16  Do you hear what these children are saying? they asked him. Yes, replied Jesus, have you never read, 'From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise'?
