<p>When Jesus left His Father&#8217;s throne,<br>
He chose a humble birth;<br>
Like us, unhonored and unknown,<br>
He came to dwell on earth.<br>
Like Him may we be found below,<br>
In wisdom&#8217;s path of peace;<br>
Like Him in grace and knowledge grow,<br>
As years and strength increase.</p>
<p>Sweet were His words and kind His look,<br>
When mothers round Him pressed;<br>
Their infants in His arms He took,<br>
And on His bosom blessed.<br>
Safe from the world&#8217;s alluring harms,<br>
Beneath His watchful eye,<br>
Thus in the circle of His arms<br>
May we forever lie.</p>
<p>When Jesus into Zion rode,<br>
The children sang around;<br>
For joy they plucked the palms and strewed<br>
Their garments on the ground.<br>
Hosanna our glad voices raise,<br>
Hosanna to our King!<br>
Should we forget our Savior&#8217;s praise,<br>
The stones themselves would sing.</p>
