LyicsHOSANNA to the Prince of light,
That cloth'd Himself in clay,
Enter'd the iron gates of death,
And tore the bars away!
Death is no more the king of dread,
Since our Immanuel rose;
He took the tyrant's sting away,
And spoil'd our hellish foes.
Raise your devotion, mortal tongues,
To reach His blest abode;
Sweet be the accents of your songs
To our incarnate God!
Bright angels, strike your loudest strings,
Your sweetest voices raise;
Let heav'n and all created things,
Sound our Immanuel's praise!
