Once Was Heard The Song Of Children

Author: Howard Kingsbury Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8717 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Once was heard the song of children By the Savior when on earth; Joyful in the sacred temple Shouts of youthful praise had birth; And hosannas, and hosannas Loud, to David’s Son broke forth. 2 Palms of victory strewn around Him, Garments spread beneath His feet; Prophet of the Lord they crowned Him, In fair Salem’s crowded street; While hosannas, while hosannas, Children sang in accents sweet. 3 Blessèd Savior, now triumphant, Glorified and throned on high, Mortal lays, from man or infant, With the songs of angels vie; And hosannas, and hosannas, Swell the chorus of the sky. 4 God o’er all, in glory reigning, We this day Thy praises sing; Not with palms Thy pathway strewing, We would loftier tribute bring; Glad hosannas, glad hosannas, To our prophet, priest, and king. 5 O, though humble is our offering, Deign accept our grateful lays; Those from children once proceeding Thou didst deem "perfected praise." Now hosannas, now hosannas Savior, Lord, to Thee we raise. Languages: English Tune Title: CALVERAS
