Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
What are the soulreviving strains,
Which echo thus from Salem's plains?
What anthems loud, and louder still,
Sweetly sound from Zion's hill?
VERSE 2
Lo, 'tis a youthful chorus sings
Hosanna to the King of kings:
The Saviour comes, and babes proclaim
Salvation sent in Jesus' name.
VERSE 3
Nor these alone their voice shall raise
For we will join this song of praise;
Still Israel's children forward press,
To hail the Lord their Righteousness.
CHORUS
Hosanna in the highest,
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!
Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!
VERSE 4
Messiah's name shall joy impart
Alike to Jew and Gentile heart:
He bled for us, He bled for you,
And we will sing hosanna too.
VERSE 5
Proclaim hosannas, loud and clear;
See David's Son and Lord appear;
Glory and praise on earth be given
Hosanna in the highest heaven.
