When in the Lord Jehovah's Name
Henry Alford • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 21:15-16
Verse 1
When in the Lord Jehovah’s Name, The Saviour lowly riding came, Loudest and first an infant throng Greeted His coming with their song, Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest!
Verse 2
We too are taught to know the Lord, To fear His Name, to read His Word; And though we simple are and young, Can praise Him with our joyful song, Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest!
Verse 3
Soon shall the Lord again pass by To judgment from His throne on high; And from the saints’ assembled throng Shall burst upon the world the song, Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest!
Verse 4
Then may our youthful band be found With coronals of triumph crowned; Raising the heavenly hosts among, Our chorus of eternal song, Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest!
