10388. Hosanna! Raise The Pealing Hymn

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 meekly chant Thy praise.

3 Hosanna! Sovereign, Prophet, Priest,
How vast Thy gifts—how free!
Thy blood, our life—Thy Word, our feast—
Thy name, our only plea.

4 Hosanna! Master, lo! we bring
Our offerings to Thy throne;
Not gold, nor myrrh, nor mortal thing,
But hearts to be Thine own.

5 Hosanna! once Thy gracious ear
Approved a lisping throng:
Be gracious still, and deign to hear
Our poor, but grateful song.

6 O Savior! if, redeemed by Thee
Thy temple we behold;
Hosannas, through eternity,
We’ll sing to harps of gold!
