Hymn of the New Holy Innocents.
This hymn is to remember all the little children killed before birth through abortion and embryo exploitation. Our Lord has told us to spread this hymn everywhere so that others will come to know and join in its chorus. It is a hymn of celebration praising Christ for his Victory in the children’s martyrdom and to honour the children themselves as saints who ‘follow the Lamb wher ‘er He goes’. It could be sung in churches, at prolife gatherings, prayer meetings, processions etc. ‘From the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.’
Refrain:
There’s a mighty
white robed army
Interceding from
above,
A host of little
children,
Praising
God for all his love.

Herod killed the Holy Innocents
It was Jesus that he
sought
New innocents are
slaughtered
Through Christ’s
blood they are bought.

Like Jesus they were crucified
But He’s come and
set them free
To proclaim to all
the nations
God loves you and He
loves me.

In a world of sin

To call to all the
