Voices of Praise ‎#167

167. Hosanna! loud hosanna!

1 Hosanna! loud Hosanna!
From Heav'nly choirs peal,
And from the earth's glad bosom
The echoes upward steal,
From sacred fanes upspringing,
From aisles mid leafy grove,
From infant voices telling
The mystery of love.

2 Hosanna! loud Hosannas
To Mary's Holy Child.
Emmanuel! to dwell with us
The sinless, undefiled.
Come, kneel in adoration
While angels hymn His praise,
The Lord of our salvation!
To Him an anthem raise.

3 Hosanna! loud Hosannas
Unto the Prince of Peace,
The Wonderful, the Counsellor,
Who maketh strife to cease.
Now may our joy triumphant
Unite with songs on high;
And earth in strains exultant
Her noblest praise employ.

Amen.
