LyicsHOSANNA, with a cheerful sound,
To God's upholding hand!
Ten thousand snares attend us round,
And yet secure we stand!
That was a most amazing pow'r
That rais'd us with a word;
And ev'ry day, and ev'ry hour,
We lean upon the Lord.
The rising morn cannot assure
That we shall end the day;
For death stands ready at the door
To hurry us away.
Our life is forfeited by sin
To God's most righteous law;
We own thy grace, immortal King,
In ev'ry breath we draw.
God is our sun, whose daily light
Our joy and safety brings;
Our feeble frame lies safe at night
Beneath his guardian wings.
