1 Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna!
Hosanna be the children’s song,
To Christ, the children’s King,
His praise to whom our souls belong,
Let all the children sing.
Refrain:
Hosanna then our song shall be,
Hosanna to our King.
This is the children’s jubilee,
Let all the children sing.
This is the children’s jubilee,
Jubilee, Jubilee;
This is the children’s jubilee,
Let all the children sing.
2 Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna!
Hosanna here in joyful hands;
The children all proclaim,
And hail with voices, hearts and hands,
Our loving Savior’s name. [Refrain]
3 Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna!
Hosannas on the wings of light,
O’er earth and ocean fly,
Till morn to eve, and noon to night,
And heav’n to earth reply. [Refrain]
4 Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna!
Hosannas, sound from church and hall,
Let ev’ry voice accord;
Be this our watchword, one and all;
Hosanna, praise the Lord. [Refrain]
