  When Je -- sus left his Fa -- ther's throne,
  He chose a hum -- ble birth;
  Like us, un -- hon -- ored and un -- known,
  He came to dwell on earth.
  Like him may we be found be -- low,
  In wis -- dom's path of peace;
  Like him in grace and know -- ledge grow,
  As years and strength in -- crease.

  Sweet were his words and kind his look,
  When mo -- thers round him pressed;
  Their in -- fants in his arms he took,
  And on his bo -- som blessed.
  Safe from the world's al -- lur -- ing harms,
  Be -- neath his watch -- ful eye,
  Thus in the cir -- cle of his arms
  May we for ev -- er lie.

verseThree = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = "3. "
  When Je -- sus in -- to Si -- on rode,
  The chil -- dren sang a -- round;
  For joy they plucked the palms and strowed
  Their gar -- ments on the ground.
  Ho -- san -- na our glad voic -- es raise,
  Ho -- san -- na to our King;
  Should we for -- get our Sa -- viour's praise,
  The stones them -- selves would sing.

  so it is now out of copyright. The alterations of the lyrics consist
  of omitted portions of stanzas.
