Hymns for Children, 33

HosANNA to the Son
Of David on His throne!
Coming in Jehovah's name,
Us, and all mankind, to bless,
Let the stammering babes proclaim,
Let the songs of children praise.

Jesus will not despise
Our meanest sacrifice:
Though by highest heaven adored.

Children Thou dost still approve,
Suffer us to call Thee Lord,
Smile to hear us lisp Thy love.

Saviour, Thy mercy's praise
Shall take up all our days;
For this only thing we live,
Our Redeemer to commend.
Glory, thanks to Thee we give,
Soon begin, but never end.

Thee, Lord, we hope to' adore.
When time shall be no more:
Only keep us to the day
When the angel-guards shall come.
Bear us on their wings away
To our everlasting home.
