Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
What are the soul's reviving strains,
Which echo thus from Salem's plains,
What anthems laud and louder still,
So sweet the sound from Zion's hills.
VERSE 2
Lo! 'tis a youthful chorus sing
Hosanna to the King of kings,
Nor these alone their voices raise,
For we will join these songs of praise.
VERSE 3
Messiah's name shall joy impress,
Alike to Jews and Gentiles hearts;
He bled for you and bled for me,
And we will sing hosanna too.
VERSE 4
Proclaim hosanna loud and clear,
See herald's Son and Lord appear.
All praise on earth to Him be giv'n
And glory shout thro' highest heaven.
CHORUS
Hosanna in the highest, hosanna in the highest,
Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord,
Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord,
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna,
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna!
