1 Hosanna to the Son of God
Who deigned to dwell on earth!
Angels proclaimed the joyful news
Of our Redeemer’s birth.

2 Hosanna to the rightful heir
Of David’s royal throne,
Excelling earthly kings by far,
Our mighty cornerstone.

3 To Him who claims, and well deserves,
Our most exalted praise,
We with united hearts and tongues,
Our loud hosannas raise.

Author: Benjamin Beddome

Benjamin Beddome was born at Henley-in Arden, Warwickshire, January 23, 1717. His father was a Baptist minister. He studied at various places, and began preaching in 1740. He was pastor of a Baptist society at Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire, until his death in 1795. In 1770, he received the degree of M.A. from the Baptist College in Providence, Rhode Island. He published several discourses and hymns. "His hymns, to the number of 830, were published in 1818, with a recommendation from Robert Hall." Montgomery speaks of him as a "writer worthy of honour both for the quantity and the quality of his hymns." --Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A. 1872.… Go to person page >
