Să Îţi Cântăm Osana

Representative Text

1 Să îţi cântăm Osana
Isuse, Rege Sfânt
Să îţi aducem slavă
În cer şi pe pământ
Tu eşti la nostru Rege
Fiu Răscumpărător
Trimis să ne salveze
De Tatăl Creator.

2 În cer sus mii de îngeri
Te laudă în cor
Alături de ei oameni
Şi tot ce-i trecător
Cu ramurile-n mână
Evreii te-au primit
Şi astăzi, împreună
Venim noi, negreşit.

3 Urma să îţi dai viaţa
Pe ei, pe noi salvând
Acum în a ta glorie
Primeşte-al nostru cânt
Tu le-ai primit cântarea
Accept-al nostru cânt
Tu, cel ce dai iertarea
Bun Rege, te slăvim.
