Wartburg Hymnal ‎#149

149. 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! Master, lo! 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 lisping throng:
Be gracious still, and deign to hear
Our poor but grateful song.

5 O Savior, if redeemed by Thee,
Thy temple we behold,
Hosannas, through eternity
We'll sing to harps of gold.
