Author: Reginald Heber, 1783 - 1826 Appears in 198 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hosanna to the living Lord!
Hosanna to the incarnate Word!
To Christ, Creator, Saviour, King,
Let earth, let heaven hosanna sing!
Hosanna, Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!
2 Hosanna, Lord! thine angels cry;
Hosanna, Lord! thy saints reply;
Above, beneath us, and around,
The dead and living swell the sound;
Hosanna, Lord!
Hosanna in the highest! A-men.
3 O Saviour, with protecting care
Abide in this thy house of prayer,
Where we thy parting promise claim,
Assembled in thy sacred Name.
Hosanna, Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!
4 But chiefest, in our cleansèd breast,
Eternal, bid thy Spirit rest;
And make our secret soul to be
A temple pure and worthy thee!
Hosanna, Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!
Amen.
