Tune: | [O Bride of Christ, rejoice!] |
1 O Bride of Christ, rejoice!
Exultant raise thy voice
To hail the day of glory,
Foretold in sacred story.
Hosanna, praise and glory,
Our King, we bow before Thee.
2 Let shouts of gladness rise
Triumphant to the skies.
Here comes the King most glorious
To reign o’er all victorious :
Hosanna, praise and glory,
Our King, we bow before Thee.
3 He wears no kingly crown,
Yet as a king He’s known;
Though not arrayed in splendor:
He still makes death surrender:
Hosanna, praise and glory,
Our King, we bow before Thee.
4 The weak and timid find
Him gentle, good and kind;
To them He gives a treasure
Of bliss beyond all measure:
Hosanna, praise and glory,
Our King, we bow before Thee.
5 Thy heart now open wide,
Bid Christ with thee abide;
He graciously will hear thee,
And be forever near thee:
Hosanna, praise and glory,
Our King, we bow before Thee.
6 Then go thy Lord to meet;
Strew palm-leaves at His feet;
Thy garments spread before Him,
And honor and adore Him:
Hosanna, praise and glory,
Our King, we bow before Thee.
7 E’en babes with one accord
With thee shall praise the Lord,
And every Gentile nation
Respond with exultation:
Hosanna, praise and glory,
Our King, we bow before Thee.
