The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#14

14. Children of Jerusalem

1 Children of Jerusalem,
Sang the praise of Jesus’ name;
Children, too, of later days,
Join to sing the Saviour’s praise.
Hark! while infant voices sing,
Hark! while infant voices sing
Loud hosannas to our King,
Loud hosannas to our King,
Loud hosannas to our King.

2 We have often heard and read
What the royal psalmist said;
Babes and sucklings' artless lays
Shall proclaim the Saviour's praise.
Hark! while infant voices sing,
Hark! while infant voices sing
Loud hosannas to our King,
Loud hosannas to our King,
Loud hosannas to our King.

3 We are taught to love the Lord,
We are taught to read his word,
We are taught the way to heaven,
Praises to God for all be given.
Hark! while infant voices sing,
Hark! while infant voices sing
Loud hosannas to our King,
Loud hosannas to our King,
Loud hosannas to our King.

4 Parents, teachers, old and young,
All unit to swell the song;
Higher and yet higher rise,
Till hosanna reach the skies.
Hark! while infant voices sing,
Hark! while infant voices sing.
Loud hosannas to our King,
Loud hosannas to our King,
Loud hosannas to our King.
