53. Hosanna to the living Lord!

1 Hosanna to the living Lord!
Hosanna to th' Incarnate Word!
To Christ, Creator, Saviour, King
Let earth, let heaven, Hosanna sing!
Hosanna, Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!

2 "Hosanna, Lord!" Thine angels cry;
"Hosanna, Lord!" Thy saints reply;
Above, beneath us, and around,
The dead and living swell the sound:
"Hosanna, Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!"

3 O Saviour, with protecting care,
Return to this Thy house of prayer;
Assembled in Thy sacred name,
Now we Thy parting promise claim:
Hosanna, Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!

4 But, chiefest, in our cleansed breast,
Eternal, bid Thy Spirit rest,
And make our secret soul to be
A temple pure, and worthy Thee:
Hosanna, Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!

Amen.
