Author: E. E. Hewitt Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 First Line: "Hosanna! hosanna!" the children were singing Lyrics: 1 “Hosanna! hosanna!” the children were singing, Singing in Zion, the city so fair; “Hosanna! hosanna!” glad echoes were ringing, Cheerily floating upon the soft air. Beautiful blossoms the breezes perfuming, Spring at His feet, as the Master passed by; But lilies far sweeter for Jesus are blooming, Wherever praises ascend to the sky. 2 Hosanna! hosanna! the birds in the wildwood Honor their Maker with carols of glee; Hosanna! hosanna! the voices of childhood Blend in a chorus more joyous and free. “Who’s this that cometh, so meek and so lowly?” Multitudes question; and children reply, “Tis Jesus of Nazareth, blessed and holy, Jesus, the Son of our Father on high.” 3 Hosanna! hosanna! the palm waved before Him, Green, budding branches were strewn in His way; Hosanna! hosanna! we, too, would adore Him, Gratefully bringing love’s offering today. Glory forever to Thee, risen Savior! Still in Thy temple the little ones sing; Now smile on our praises and grant us Thy favor; Glory to Thee, our Redeemer and King!” Used With Tune: ["Hosanna! hosanna!" the children were singing]

How sweet to reflect on those joys that await me

Author: Anon. Appears in 128 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 How sweet to reflect on those joys that await me In yon blissful region, the haven of rest; Where bright, holy angels with welcome shall greet me, And lead me to mansions prepared for the blest. Encircled with light, and with glory enshrouded, My happiness perfect, my mind's sky unclouded, I'll bathe in the ocean of pleasure unbounded, And range with delight through the Eden of love. 2 Then hail, blessed state! hail, ye songsters of glory! Ye harpers of bliss, soon I'll meet you above, And join your full choir in rehearsing the story, Salvation from sorrow, through Jesus' love. Though prisoned in earth, yet by anticipation, Already my soul feels a sweet prelibation Of joys that await me when freed from probation; My heart's now in heaven, the Eden of love.

Be patient, be patient, no longer despairing

Author: Annie R. Smith Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Be patient, be patient, no longer despairing, Though bright hope deferred fills with sorrow thy heart; Though bitter the cup thy soul has been sharing, Let not fond affections from Heaven depart. Not long will He tarry, in doubt here us leaving; He'll come for his children who for him are grieving. Oh, wait for the promise of glory receiving, When the King in his beauty for us shall appear. 2 Be patient, be patient, the light shining o'er thee, Will guide through the shades that encompass the way: The Saviour has trod the rough pathway before thee; Let not sore afflictions and trials dismay. Upward to God be the heart's adoration, Where ever are flowing pure streams of salvation: Redemption is nearing! O seek preparation! Soon the King in his beauty for us will appear. 3 Be patient, be patient, a pilgrim and stranger, Though foes may assail, and the scoffing deride; Through toil and affliction, temptation and danger, The saints must be purified, made white, and tried. Be humble, the spirit of meekness adorning, Be faithful, proclaiming the last notes of warning; Be watchful, to hail the glad dawn of that morning When the King in his beauty for us shall appear. 4 Be patient, be patient, a little while longer, And Jesus the kingdom to us will restore. Be cheerful, enduring, thy faith growing stronger, Till trials are passed, and thy conflicts are o'er. Be patient, the Lord all his saints will deliver, With love, peace, and joy, will surround them forever, Where naught shall e'er cloud, or their sweet union sever, With the King in his beauty they'll reign evermore.

Come, haste to the Saviour

Appears in 14 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Come, youthful sinners, come, haste to the Saviour Lyrics: 1 Come, youthful sinners, come, haste to the Saviour, Come, ye young wanderers, cling to his side; Kneel at his mercy-seat, sue for his favor, Lambs of his bosom, for whom he hath died. Come to his temple gate, come in life's morning; Give up your souls to the Guide of your youth; How fair is grace, the young bosom adorning! What robe so pure as the raiment of truth? 2 Can you find pleasure in pathways unholy? Hope ye for wisdom in wand'ring from God? Sorrow and shame waft the vot'ries of folly, Earth has no comfort not found in his blood. Has he not died for you? gaze on his passion: There see the tokens of sorrow and love; Lives he not now for you? Jesus, the Saviour, Bled and ascended to crown you above. Used With Tune: [Come, youthful sinners, come, haste to the Saviour]
