316. Children Once to Israel's King
4-7s.
1
Children once to Israel’s King
Did their sweet hosannas bring;
Children now who love the Lord,
Join to praise with one accord.
2
He who reigns in heaven above,
Once for sinners died in love;
Came from off the throne on high,
On the cross to bleed and die.
3
Life eternal He can give,
’Tis in Him believers live;
He upholds them by His hand,
And can make the feeble stand.
4
What a day of joy ’twill be,
When His glorious face they see!
When His image they will bear,
And His throne of glory share!
5
Till that day the Lord will keep
Safely all His lambs and sheep;
He will guard them night and day,
Keep them walking in His way.
