Author: Jeanette Threlfall, 1821-1880 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #132 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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
'Mid an exultant crowd,
The victor palm-branch waving,
And chanting clear and loud;
The Lord of men and angels
Rode on in lowly state,
Nor scorned that little children
Should on His bidding wait.
3 "Hosanna in the highest!"
That ancient song we sing,
For Christ is our Redeemer,
The Lord of heaven our King.
O may we ever praise Him
With heart and life and voice,
And in His blissful presence
Eternally rejoice!
AMEN. Topics: Lent/Palm Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE
