Hosanna

COME let us as to God brought nigh
Extol His Christ, our Lord most high;
Although no words His worth can tell,
Our lowly song He loveth well.
Praise and honor we sing to
Thee, Jesus, Saviour, who bought us free.
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!
Sing we to God’s Lamb.

Now rais’d above all heaven’s height,
His garment is unsullied light—
Light so intense, no eye can gaze
While here on those majestic rays.
Praise and honor, etc.

But dimly now, as through a glass,
That glorious Light doth sweetly pass;
Soon, with glad songs of His rich grace,
We’ll gaze upon Him face to face.
Praise and honor, etc.
