The Hosanna of the children; Or, infants praising God

Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Goodness of God; Goodness of God First Line: Almighty Ruler of the skies Lyrics: 1 Almighty Ruler of the skies, Thro' the wide earth thy name is spread, And thine eternal glories rise O'er all the heavens thy hands have made. 2 To thee the voices of the young, There sounding notes of honour raise; And babes, with uninstructed tongue, Declare the wonders of thy praise. 3 Thy power assists their tender age To bring proud rebels to the ground, To still the bold blasphemer's rage, And all their policies confound. 4 Children amidst thy temple throng To see their great Redeemer's face; The Son of David, is their song, And loud Hosannas fill the place. 5 The frowning scribes and angry priests In vain their impious cavils bring; Revenge sits silent in their breasts, While Jewish babes proclaim their King. Scripture: Psalm 8:1-2

Psalm 8

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Goodness of God First Line: O Lord, our heav'nly King Lyrics: O Lord, our heav'nly King, Thy name is all divine; Thy glories round the earth are spread, And o'er the heav'ns they shine. When to thy works on high I raise my wondering eyes, And see the moon, complete in light, Adorn the darksome skies When I survey the stars, And all their shining forms, Lord, what is man, that worthless thing, Akin to dust and worms? Lord, what is worthless man, That thou shouldst love him so? Next to thine angels is he placed, And lord of all below. Thine honors crown his head, While beasts, like slaves, obey; And birds that cut the air with wings, And fish that cleave the sea. How rich thy bounties are! And wondrous are thy ways Of dust and worms thy power can frame A monument of praise. [Out of the mouths of babes And sucklings thou canst draw Surprising honors to thy name, And strike the world with awe. O Lord, our heav'nly King, Thy name is all divine; Thy glories round the earth are spread, And o'er the heav'ns they shine.] Scripture: Psalm 8

Psalm 8

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: Goodness of God First Line: O LORD, our Lord, how wondrous great Lyrics: O LORD, our Lord, how wondrous great Is thine exalted name! The glories of thy heav'nly state Let men and babes proclaim. When I behold thy works on high, The moon that rules the night, And stars that well adorn the sky, Those moving worlds of light; Lord, what is man, or all his race, Who dwells so far below, That thou shouldst visit him with grace, And love his nature so? That thine eternal Son should bear To take a mortal form; Made lower than his angels are, To save a dying worm? [Yet while he lived on earth unknown, And men would not adore, Th' obedient seas and fishes own His Godhead and his power. The waves lay spread beneath his feet; And fish, at his command, Bring their large shoals to Peter's feet, Bring tribute to his hand. These lesser glories of the Son Shone through the fleshly cloud; Now, we behold him on his throne, And men confess him God.] Let him be crowned with majesty, Who bowed his head to death; And be his honors sounded high, By all things that have breath. Jesus, our Lord, how wondrous great Is thine exalted name! The glories of thy heav'nly state Let the whole earth proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 8

Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Goodness of God; Goodness of God First Line: Lord, what was man when made at first Lyrics: 1 Lord, what was man, when made at first, Adam, the offspring of the dust, That thou should'st set him and his race, But just below an angel's place? 2 That thou should'st raise his nature so, And make him lord of all below; Make every beast and bird submit, And lay the fishes at his feet? 3 But O! what brighter glories wait To crown the second Adam's state! What honours shall thy Son adorn, Who condescended to be born? 4 See him below his angels made! Behold him number'd with the dead, To save a ruin'd world from sin; But he shall reign with power divine. 5 The world to come, redeem'd from all The miseries that attend the fall, New made, and glorious, shall submit At our exalted Saviour's feet. Scripture: Psalm 8:3-9
