Lyics

Yes, we hope the day is nigh,

When many nations, long enslaved,

When many nations, long enslaved,

Shall break forth, and sing with joy,

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna to the Son of David!

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna to the Son of David!

Hosanna to the Son of David!



Abra'am's seed, cast off so long,

Shall then appear among the saved,

Shall then appear among the saved,

Shall arise, and join the song,

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna to the Son of David!

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna to the Son of David!

Hosanna to the Son of David!



Jews and Gentiles shall unite,

By Satan's pow'r no more enslaved,

By Satan's pow'r no more enslaved,

And shall sing with great delight,

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna to the Son of David!

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna to the Son of David!

Hosanna to the Son of David!



But a brighter day is nigh,

When Jesus shall collect his saved,

When Jesus shall collect his saved;

Men and angels then shall cry

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna to the Son of David!

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna to the Son of David!

Hosanna to the Son of David!
