Hosanna ! 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, redeem'd by Thee,
Thy temple we behold,
Hosannas through eternity
We'll sing to harps of gold.
