Hymns for Children, 38
From Hymns for Children (1763) · Osborn ed., vol. 6 (1870)
Let children proclaim Their Saviour and King,
To Jesus's name Hosannas we sing;
Our best adoration To Jesus we give,
Who purchased salvation For all to receive.
The meek Lamb of God From heaven came down,
And ransom'd with blood, And made us His own-
He sufifer'd to save us From sin and from thrall;
And Jesus shall have us. Who purchased us all!
To Him will we give Our earliest days,
And thankfully live To publish His praise;
Our lives shall confess Him Who came from above,
Our tongues they shall bless Him, And tell of His
love.
In innocent songs His coming we shout;
Should we hold our tongues, The stones would cry
But Him, without ceasing, We all will proclaim,
And ever be blessing Our Jesus's name.
