Hosanna to the th'Incarnate Word;
To Christ, Creator, Saviour, King,
Let earth, let heaven, Hosanna ring.
Hosanna, Hosanna, Lord,
Hosanna, Hosanna, in the highest.
2 Hosanna, Lord! Thine angels cry;
Hosanna, Lord! Thy saints reply;
Above, beneath us, and around,
The dead and living swell the sound:
Hosanna, Hosanna, Lord,
Hosanna, Hosanna, in the highest.
3 O Saviour, with protecting care,
Return to this Thy house of prayer;
Assembled in Thy sacred Name,
Where we Thy parting promise claim;
Hosanna, Hosanna, Lord,
Hosanna, Hosanna, in the highest.
4 So in the last and dreadful day,
When earth and heaven shall melt away,
Thy flock, redeemed from sinful stain,
Shall swell the sound of praise again.
Hosanna, Hosanna, Lord,
Hosanna, Hosanna, in the highest. Used With Tune: [Hosanna to the living Lord!]
Hosanna, Hosanna, Lord
