Hosanna we sing,
like the children dear,
In the olden days when
the Lord lived here;
He blessed little children,
and smiled on them,
While they chanted
His praise in Jerusalem.
Alleluia we sing,
like the children bright,
With their harps of gold
and their raiment white,
As they follow their Shepherd
with loving eyes,
Through the beautiful
valleys of Paradise.
Hosanna we sing,
for He bends His ear,
And rejoices the hymns
of His own to hear;
We know that His heart
will never wax cold
To the lambs that He feeds
in His earthly fold.
Alleluia we sing
in the Church we love,
Alleluia resounds in the Church above,
To Thy little ones, Lord,
may such grace be given,
That we lose not our part
in the song of Heav’n.
