The Psalms of David ‎#I.XVI

I.XVI. Hosanna to the Royal Son

1 Hosanna to the Royal Son
Of David's ancient Line,
His Natures Two, his Person One,
Mysterious and Divine.

2 The Root of David here we find,
And Offspring is the same;
Eternity and Time are join'd
In our Emanuel's Name.

3 Blest He that comes to wretched Men
With peaceful News from Heav'n;
Hosannas of the highest Strain
To Christ the Lord be giv'n.

4 Let Mortals ne'er refuse to take
Th' Hosanna on their Tongues,
Lest Rocks and Stones should rise, and break
Their Silence into Songs.
