Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #425 (1917) Hymnal Title: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church Lyrics: 1 Hosanna to the living Lord!
Hosanna to the 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,
Where we Thy parting promise claim,
Assembled in Thy sacred Name,
Hosanna! Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!
4 But, chiefest, in our cleansèd 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!
5 So in the last and dreadful day,
When earth and heaven shall melt away,
Thy flock, redeemed from sinful stain,
Shall swell the sound of praise again:
Hosanna! Lord!
Hosanna in the highest.
Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons At the Opening of Service Languages: English Tune Title: HOSANNA
