Hosanna in the Highest

Author: John Howard Lathrop, 1880-1967 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Hosanna in the highest! Lyrics: 1 Hosanna in the highest! Our eager hearts acclaim the prophet of the kingdom, who bears Messiah’s name. O bold, O foolish peasants, to deem that he should reign! The temple and the palace look down in high disdain. 2 Long ages dim the message, and custom has sufficed for merchants and for princes to bow, and own him Christ. But when another spirit arises from the plain, the courts of power tremble, and crucify again. 3 O first of many prophets who come of simple folk to free us from our bondage, to break oppression’s yoke: restore our minds to wisdom, make known the life, the way that leads through love and justice unto the peace-crowned day.

At Jesus' Feet Our Infant Sweet

Author: M. Loy Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. At Jesus' feet our infant sweet We lay with all its stain, That renders it for heav'n unmeet Until 'tis born again: We here embrace His proffered grace In this baptismal wave, Nor shall the world our trust efface-- The bath its soul will save. 2. We fail to see the Holy Three Concealed the fount within, Mere water seems the mystery That cleanses us from sin; But who may tell what virtues dwell Thro' God's Word in that flood, Or who the simple faith repel That owns it Jesus' blood? 3. We bring our child by sin defiled, Then, dearest Lord, to Thee; Here clothe it in Thy nature mild, From sin here make it free; And buried here in death severe, To new life may it rise, And trained for Thee, with Thee appear Immortal in the skies. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Sarraments-Holy Baptism Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE
