116. The Children's King

1 Do you hear those voices sound?
List the temple courts resound,
Hark! a thousand children sing,
“David’s Son, the children’s King.”

Refrain:
Hosannas sing,
Hosannas sing,
To David’s Son, the children’s King.

2 See them march the courts athrong,
Vainly priests forbid their song,
Hail, all hail! they shout and sing,
“David’s Son, the children’s King.” [Refrain]

3 Sacred walls repeat the strain,
Loud hosannas glad refrain;
Jesus hears no sweeter thing,
“David’s Son, the children’s King.” [Refrain]

4 Let the chorus still prolong,
Jesus Christ approves the song;
Perfect praise the children bring,
“David’s Son, the children’s King.” [Refrain]
