LyicsHosanna! raise the pealing hymn
To David's Son and Lord;
With cherubim and seraphim
Exalt the incarnate Word.
Hosanna! Lord, our feeble tongue
No lofty strains can raise:
But thou wilt not despise the young
Who meekly chant thy praise.
Hosanna! Sovereign, Prophet, Priest,
How vast thy gifts, how free!
Thy Blood, our life; thy Word, our feast;
Thy Name, our only plea.
Hosanna! Master, lo! we bring
Our offerings to thy throne;
Not gold, nor myrrh, nor mortal thing,
But hearts to be thine own.
Hosanna! once thy gracious ear
Approved a lisping throng;
Be gracious still, and deign to hear
Our poor but grateful song.
O Saviour, if, redeemed by thee,
Thy temple we behold,
Hosannas through eternity
We'll sing to harps of gold.
