When, His salvation bringing

Author: Rev. John King Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 423 hymnals Topics: Christ Entry Into Jerusalem 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. 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 His throne, And cry aloud, "Hosanna To David's royal Son!" 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. Amen. Used With Tune: TOURS

This earth, he cries, is not my place, I seek my place in heaven: A country far from mortal sight Yet, O by faith I see The land of rest, the saints' delight, The heaven prepared for me. 2 A stranger in the world below, I calmly sojourn here; Nor can its happiness or woe Provoke my hope or fear. Its evils in a moment end, Its joys as soon are past; But, O the bliss to which I tend Eternally shall last! 3 To that Jerusalem above With singing I repair; While in the flesh, my hope and love, My heart and soul, are there: There my exalted Saviour stands, My merciful High Priest, And still extends His wounded hands To take me to His breast.

O Praise the LORD, for It Is Good

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Biblical Names and Places Jerusalem Lyrics: 1 O praise the LORD, for it is good to sing unto our God; 'tis right and pleasant for God's saints to tell his praise abroad. The LORD our God builds up the church, finds those who draw apart; God binds their wounds and gently leads; he heals the broken heart. 2 Our Lord is great: he calls by name and counts the stars of night; God's wisdom is unsearchable, and wondrous is his might. The LORD upholds the poor and meek but brings the wicked low; sing praise to God who sends the rain, whose care the cattle know. 3 No human might, no earthly pride delights the LORD above; in those who fear him God delights, in those who trust his love. O Zion, praise the LORD your God, his wondrous love confess; God is your glory and your strength, he will your children bless.
