156. Hosanna to the King

1 Love's redeeming work is done;
Christ, the well-beloved Son,
Hath a full atonement made;
He the price of sin hath paid;
Hosanna! hosanna!
Hosanna to the King!

Refrain:
Hosanna to the risen King!
Lo, he triumphs gloriously;
Where, monster death, is now thy sting?
Where, grave, thy victory, thy victory?
With loftiest songs of endless praise
Let heaven's arches ring,
While we on earth the chorus raise,
Hosanna to the King!

2 Saints and angels join to tell
How he conquered death and hell;
Empty is the rocky pris'n,
Jesus from the dead hath ris'n;
Hosanna! hosanna!
Hosanna to the King! [Refrain]

3 Spread the glorious news abroad,
Tidings of our risen Lord;
To a dying world proclaim
Full salvation in his name;
Hosanna! hosanna!
Hosanna to the King! [Refrain]
