Tune: St Peter
(\'How sweet the name of Jesus sounds\')
Matthew 21 v.12-16
*********
Jesus went into the temple
Of God, there cast out all
That sold and bought there, overturned
Money-changers cash earned
And too the seats of them that sold
Doves there, and to them told
That His house shall be called, here see
The house of prayer it be
But they den of thieves had it made
They were paid for their trade
Jesus did restore he purpose
Of temple\'s proper use
The blind and lame unto Him came
In the temple, the same
He healed, then chief priests and scribes saw
His wondrous works for sure
And too they saw children praising
In temple, and saying
Hosanna, Son of David, save
To God they worship gave
They were displeased, said to Jesus
Hear what they say midst us?
Jesus said, Yes, have you ne\'er read
What the Scriptures have said?
\'Tis out of mouths of babes, infant
God has perfected thence
Praise to His name, their faith simple
As they do on Him call
