When to thy works on high I raise my wondering eyes, And see the moon, complete in light, Adorn the darksome skies When I survey the stars, And all their shining forms, Lord, what is man, that worthless thing, Akin to dust and worms? Lord, what is worthless man, That thou shouldst love him so? Next to thine angels is he placed, And lord of all below. Thine honors crown his head, While beasts, like slaves, obey; And birds that cut the air with wings, And fish that cleave the sea. How rich thy bounties are! And wondrous are thy ways Of dust and worms thy power can frame A monument of praise.

When I behold thy works on high, The moon that rules the night, And stars that well adorn the sky, Those moving worlds of light; Lord, what is man, or all his race, Who dwells so far below, That thou shouldst visit him with grace, And love his nature so? That thine eternal Son should bear To take a mortal form; Made lower than his angels are, To save a dying worm? [Yet while he lived on earth unknown, And men would not adore, Th' obedient seas and fishes own His Godhead and his power. The waves lay spread beneath his feet; And fish, at his command, Bring their large shoals to Peter's feet, Bring tribute to his hand. These lesser glories of the Son Shone through the fleshly cloud; Now, we behold him on his throne, And men confess him God.] Let him be crowned with majesty, Who bowed his head to death; And be his honors sounded high, By all things that have breath.

Hosanna, Loud Hosanna

Author: Jennette Threlfall, 1821-1880 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 158 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8:2 Lyrics: 1 Hosanna, loud hosanna, the little children sang; through pillared court and temple the lovely anthem rang: to Jesus, who had blessed them, close folded to his breast, the children sang their praises, the simplest and the best. 2 From Olivet they followed 'mid an exultant crowd, the victor palm branch waving, and chanting clear and loud; the Lord of earth and heaven rode on in lowly state, nor scorned that little children should on his bidding wait. 3 "Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song we sing, for Christ is our Redeemer, the Lord of heaven our King. O may we ever praise him with heart and life and voice, and in his blissful presence eternally rejoice!
