Chorus:
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Hosanna to the Son of David!
For He cometh, for He cometh,
For He cometh in the Name of the Lord.

1 'Tis the children's anthem in Jerusalem,
As they sing the praises of the Savior's name;
We will join the chorus, and the notes prolong,
And shout hosanna in the children's song.

Chorus:
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Hosanna to the Son of David!
For He cometh, for He cometh,
For He cometh in the Name of the Lord.

2 Let the earth rejoice, for the Savior reigns,
He is Lord of lords, He is King of kings;
Let us tread the pathway that His feet have trod,
And sing hosanna to the Lamb of God.

Chorus:
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Hosanna to the Son of David!
For He cometh, for He cometh,
For He cometh in the Name of the Lord.

3 When the Savior comes to redeem His own,
And we see Him sitting on the great white throne;
May we gather round Him and aloud proclaim,
And sing hosanna to His glorious Name.

Chorus:
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Hosanna to the Son of David!
For He cometh, for He cometh,
For He cometh in the Name of the Lord.
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Hosanna to the Lamb of God!
For he saved us, He redeemed us,
And He washed us in His own precious blood.
