<p>When, His salvation bringing,<br>
To Zion Jesus came,<br>
The children all stood singing<br>
Hosanna to His Name;<br>
Nor did their zeal offend Him,<br>
But, as He rode along,<br>
He let them still attend Him,<br>
And smiled to hear their song.</p>
<p>And since the Lord retaineth<br>
His love for children still,<br>
Though now as King He reigneth<br>
On Zion&#8217;s heavenly hill,<br>
We&#8217;ll flock around His banner<br>
Who sits upon His throne,<br>
And cry aloud, &#8220;Hosanna<br>
To David&#8217;s royal Son!&#8221;</p>
<p>For should we fail proclaiming<br>
Our great Redeemer&#8217;s praise,<br>
The stones, our silence shaming,<br>
Would their hosannas raise.<br>
But shall we only render<br>
The tribute of our words?<br>
No; while our hearts are tender,<br>
They too shall be the Lord&#8217;s.</p>
