  ➔ "Let's" is a contraction of "let us", forming an imperative, suggesting an action involving the speaker and others. "get together" and "feel all right" are verbs connected by "and", indicating two actions to be taken together.

• Hear the children crying

  ➔ Imperative + Noun Phrase + Present Participle

  ➔ "Hear" is an imperative verb. "the children" is the noun phrase (the object of the verb "hear"). "crying" is the present participle, indicating the action the children are performing.

• Sayin, give thanks and praise to the Lord

  ➔ Present Participle + Imperative + Noun Phrase

  ➔ "Sayin'" (Saying) is a present participle used to introduce a command. "Give thanks and praise" is the imperative. "to the Lord" is a prepositional phrase acting as an adverbial modifier to the verb, indicating who the thanks and praise are directed towards.

• Is there a place for the hopeless sinners

  ➔ Existential "There" + Question Form (Is + there + Noun Phrase + Prepositional Phrase)

  ➔ This sentence uses the existential "there" construction in a question form to inquire about the existence of a place. "Is there" introduces the question, followed by the noun phrase "a place" and the prepositional phrase "for the hopeless sinners" specifying for whom the place is meant for.

• Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own

  ➔ Relative Pronoun + Present Perfect + Adverbial Clause of Purpose

  ➔ "Who" acts as a relative pronoun, referring back to the "hopeless sinners" mentioned in the previous line. "has hurt" is in the present perfect tense, indicating an action completed at an unspecified time in the past that has relevance to the present. "just to save his own" is an adverbial clause of purpose, explaining the reason for the action of hurting mankind.
