376. Children's Hosannas

1 When his salvation bringing,
To Zion Jesus came,
The children all stood singing,
Hosanna 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.

2 And since the Lord retaineth
His love for children still,
Though now as King he reigneth
On Zion's heavenly hill,
We'll flock around his banner,
Who sits upon the throne,
And raise a loud hosanna,
To David's royal Son.

3 For should we fail proclaiming
Our great Redeemer's praise,
The stones, our silence shaming,
Would their hosanna raise.
But should we only render
The tribute of our words?
No; while our hearts are tender,
They, too, should be the Lord's.
