Lyics

HOSANNA to the church's Head,

Who suffer'd in our room and stead!

He was immers'd in sweat and blood!



Behold the grave where Jesus lay,

Before he shed his precious blood;

How plain he mark'd the humble way

To sinners through the mystic flood.



Come, ye redeemed of the Lord,

Come and obey his sacred word;

He died and rose again for you;

What more could the Redeemer do?



We to this place are come to show

What we to boundless mercy owe;

The Saviour's footsteps to explore,

And tread the path he trod before.
