Sacred Poems and Hymns ‎#336

336. O come, let us raise

O come, let us raise
Our tribute of song;
Thanksgiving and praise
To Jesus belong:--
He came from above
Our bliss to begin,
Make perfect in love,
And free us from sin.

357
The old and the young,
His people by choice,
With heart, soul, and tongue,
In Him may rejoice:--
We meet Him to-day
Triumphantly crown'd,
And welcome His way,
In chorus around.

Hosanna!--that word
To children is dear;
To Jesus our Lord,
We'll echo it here;--
Let worldlings despise,
And enemies rail,
Hosannas shall rise,
Hosannas prevail.

God's temple shall ring,
While under His eye,
Hosanna we sing,
For Jesus draws nigh:
Hosanna! our breath
Through life shall proclaim;
Hosanna! in death,
In glory, the same!
