1 Hosanna! raise the pealing hymn
To David's Son, and Lord,
With cherubim and seraphim
Exalt th' Incarnate Word.

2 Hosanna! Lord, our feeble tongue
No lofty strains can raise,
But Thou wilt not despise the young
Who feebly sing Thy praise.

3 Hosanna! Master, may we bring
Our offerings to Thy throne:
Not gold, nor myrrh, nor mortal thing,
But hearts to be Thine own.

4 Hosanna! once Thy gracious ear
Approved a youthful throng:
Be gracious now, and deign to hear
Our humble, grateful song.

5 O Saviour, if redeemed by Thee,
Thy Temple we behold,
Thy praises through eternity
We'll sing to harps of gold.

Amen.
