The Hosanna of the children; or, infants praising God

Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Goodness of God; Goodness of God First Line: Almighty Ruler of the skies Lyrics: 1 Almighty Ruler of the skies, Thro' the wide earth thy name is spread, And thine eternal glories rise O'er all the heavens thy hands have made. 2 To thee the voices of the young, There sounding notes of honour raise; And babes, with uninstructed tongue, Declare the wonders of thy praise. 3 Thy power assists their tender age To bring proud rebels to the ground, To still the bold blasphemer's rage, And all their policies confound. 4 Children amidst thy temple throng To see their great Redeemer's face; The Son of David, is their song, And loud Hosannas fill the place. 5 The frowning scribes and angry priests In vain their impious cavils bring; Revenge sits silent in their breasts, While Jewish babes proclaim their King. Scripture: Psalm 8:1-2

What honours shall thy Son adorn, Who condescended to be born? 4 See him below his angels made! Behold him number'd with the dead, To save a ruin'd world from sin; But he shall reign with power divine. 5 The world to come, redeem'd from all The miseries that attend the fall, New made, and glorious, shall submit At our exalted Saviour's feet.
