While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
Author: Nahum Tate Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,106 hymnals Topics: Songs for Children Bible Songs First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
all seated on the ground,
an angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around.
2 "Fear not," said he for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind
"glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and all mankind.
3 "To you, in David's town, this day
is born of David's line
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:
4 "The heavenly babe you there shall find
to human view displayed,
all simply wrapped in swaddling clothes
and in a manger laid."
5 Thus spoke the angel. Suddenly
appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
to those on whom his favor rests
goodwill shall never cease."
Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Used With Tune: WINCHESTER OLD

Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,747 hymnals Topics: Songs for Children Hymns Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!
2 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honors of your name.
3 The name of Jesus charms our fears
and bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life and health and peace.
4 He breaks the power of canceled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean;
his blood avails for me.
5 He speaks, and, listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive;
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice;
the humble poor believe.
6 Hear him, you deaf; you voiceless ones,
your loosened tongues employ;
you blind, behold your Savior come;
and leap, you lame, for joy!
7 To God all glory, praise, and love
be now and ever given
by saints below and saints above,
the church in earth and heaven.

When, His Salvation Bringing
Author: John King Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 421 hymnals Topics: Songs For Children Jesus' Life First Line: When, His salvation bringing Refrain First Line: Hosanna! Hosanna Lyrics: 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,
And smiled to hear their song.
Refrain:
Hosanna! Hosanna to Jesus they sing.
2. And since the Lord retaineth
His love to children still,
Tho' now as King He reigneth
On Zion's heav'nly hill,
We'll flock around His banner
Who sits upon the throne,
And cry aloud, "Hosanna
To David's royal Son!" [Refrain]
3. For should we fail proclaiming
Our great Redeemer's praise,
The stones, our silence shaming,
Would their hosannas raise.
But shall we only render
The tribute of our words?
No; while our hearts are tender,
They too shall be the Lord's. [Refrain]

Hosanna, Loud Hosanna
Author: Jennette Threlfall Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 160 hymnals Topics: Songs for Children Hymns Lyrics: 1 Hosanna, loud hosanna
the little children sang;
through pillared court and temple
the lovely anthem rang.
To Jesus, who had blessed them,
close folded to his breast,
the children sang their praises,
the simplest and the best.
2 From Olivet they followed
mid an exultant crowd,
the victory palm branch waving,
and chanting clear and loud.
The Lord of earth and heaven
rode on in lowly state,
nor scorned that little children
should on his bidding wait.
3 "Hosanna in the highest!"
That ancient song we sing,
for Christ is our Redeemer,
the Lord of heaven, our King.
O may we ever praise him
with heart and life and voice,
and in his blissful presence
eternally rejoice.
