So may all living things proclaim the wonders of their Maker's name: to God give praise and glory! 3 What God has made, God will preserve, with righteousness unfailing. Regardless what we may deserve, we see this good prevailing. To God who governs evermore with justice serving rich and poor, to God give praise and glory! 4 I cry to God, in pain and grief, "Please, God of mercy, hear me!" My certain help provides relief, faith, hope, and love to cheer me. So let me sing, joyful and free: ah, thankful Christians, sing with me: to God give praise and glory! 5 Forever with us, God is here, Nor ever will desert us. So dearly loved, we shall not fear; there's nothing that can hurt us. We place our trust in God's command, who leads us with a mother's hand: to God give praise and glory! 6 Dear Christian friends, we bear the name of Christ, our sure salvation.

Hosanna, Loud Hosanna

Author: Jennette Threlfall Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 159 hymnals First Line: "Hosanna, loud hosanna" Lyrics: 1 "Hosanna, loud hosanna," the little children sang; through pillared court and temple the lovely anthem rang; To Jesus, who had blessed them close folded to his breast, the children sang their praises, the simplest and the best. 2 From Olivet they followed amid a cheering crowd, the victor palm branch waving, and chanting clear and loud. The one whom angels worship rode on in lowly state, and glad to see the children, slowed down the donkey's gait. 3 "Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song is ours, We hail our great Redeemer and sing with all our powers; "Hosanna, Christ, we praise you with heart and life and voice. Hosanna! In your presence forever we'll rejoice!"
