When, His Salvation Bringing

Nor did their zeal offend Him, But as He rode along, He let them still attend Him, And smiled to hear their song. Refrain: Hosanna, Hosanna, To David's royal Son, Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna. 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 the throne, And cry aloud, hosanna To David's royal Son. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] Amen. Topics: Children's Hymns Scripture: Matthew 21:16 Used With Tune: PALM SUNDAY

And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,312 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He, whose Word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal Love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage; Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age? 3 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy Name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Amen.
