Nehemiah 12 · Grade 2
A Happy Day
Read the Story
The wall was done. Now it was time to give it to God. The singers came to the city.
The priests made the people clean. Two big groups went up on the wall. They sang thanks to God. They walked in two ways. They met at God's house.
They played horns and harps. The men were glad. The women and children were glad too. God made them full of joy. People far away heard it!
Memory Verse
