773 Saying, Hosanna,& c. Matt. xxi. 15. Double 7.6. 1 WHEN his salvation bringing, to Zion Jesus came, The children all stood singing Hosanna to his name. Nor did their zeal offend him, but, as he rode along, He let them still attend him, and smil'd to hear their song; Hosanna, to Jesus, they sing. 2 And since the Lord retaineth his love to children
still,
And soon as King appeareth on Zion's holy hill; We'll flock around his banner,-who sits upon the throne,
And cry aloud Hosanna to David's royal Son. 3 For should we fail proclaiming our great Redeemer's praise, [ sannas raise. The stones, our silence shaming, would their hoBut shall we only render the tribute of our words? No! while our hearts are tender, they too shall be the Lord's.

774 The Lord God will come,& c. Isa. xl. 10. JHARK the sounds of gladness from a distant shore, Like relief from sadness, sadness now no more; ' Tis the Lord has done it- He has won the day, His own arm has won it, joyful we may say. 2 Hence those sounds of gladness from a distant
shore,
Then away with sadness, and despond no more; Ye who mourn for Zion, and her welfare seek, Think of Judah's Lion- never faint nor weak. 3 When He wakes from slumber, and puts on his
might,
What is skill or number match'd with Him in fight: When his foes assemble, hoping to prevail, Soon the valiant tremble, and the mighty fail.

The day is at hand. Rom. xiii. 12. 1 THERE is a world above
Where parting is unknown; A whole eternity of love
Form'd for the good alone; And faith beholds the dying here Translated to that happier sphere. 2 Thus star by star declines,
Till all are pass'd away, As morning high and higher shines To pure and perfect day;
Nor sink those stars in empty nightThey hide themselves in heaven's own light.
