1 Almighty ruler of the skies,
Thro' the wide earth thy name is spread;
And thine eternal glories rise
O'er all the heav'ns thy hands have made.
2 To the voices of the young
A monument of honor raise;
And babes, with uninstructed tongues
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 young 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.
