Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854, alt. Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16325 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Children of Zion, know your King Lyrics:
1 Children of Zion, know your King,
Your own Messiah hail:
Hosanna in His temple sing,
For He hath rent the veil.
2 Himself the sacrifice for sin,
As your High-Priest He died;
With His own blood, He entered in—
Behold Him crucified!
3 Behold Him on the mercy seat,
High in the holiest place;
Now cast yourselves before His feet,
Then rise to see His face.
4 That face with reconciling beams
Shines forth upon you all;
No longer mourn by Babel’s streams,
He calls you—hear His call.
5 So shall your hearts within you burn;
While guided by His voice,
With songs to Zion you return,
And in your God rejoice,
6 At His great name, bow every knee;
Let every tongue confess
Christ, whom your fathers slew, is he,
The Lord your Righteousness.
