Hosanna to the royal son

Of David's ancient line!

His natures two, his person one,

Mysterious and divine.

The root of David, here we find,

And offspring, are the same:

Eternity and time are joined

In our Immanuel's name.

Blest he that comes to wretched man

With peaceful news from Heaven!

Hosannas, of the highest strain,

To Christ the Lord be given.

Let mortals ne'er refuse to take

The Hosanna on their tongues,

Lest rocks and stones should rise and break

Their silence into songs.
