HYMN 151.
When His salvation bringing,
To Zion Jesus came,
The children all stood singing
Hosannah to His name.
Nor did their zeal offend Him,
But as He rode along,
He let them still attend Him,
Well pleased to hear their song;
Hosannah to Jesus they sing.
And since the Lord retaineth
His love for children still,
Though now as King He reigneth
On Zion's holy hill;
We'll flock around His banner,
Who sits upon the throne,
And cry aloud Hosannah
To David's royal Son;
Hosannah to Jesus we'll sing.
For should we fail proclaiming
Our great Redeemer's praise,
The stones our silence shaming,
vWould their Hosannahs raise.
But, shall we only render
The tribute of our words?
No! while our hearts are tender,
They, too shall be the Lord's;
Hosannah to Jesus we'll sing.
