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 ev'ning rests our weary head,
And angels guard the room;
We wake, and we admire the bed,
That was not made our tomb.
The rising morning can't assure
That we shall end the day;
For death stands ready at the door
To take our lives away.
Our breath is forfeited by sin,
To God's avenging 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 flesh lies safe at night,
Beneath his shady wings.
