Hosannah with a cheerful sound

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #399 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Morning Lyrics: 1 Hosanna with a cheerful sound To God's upholding hand! Ten thousand snares our path surround, And yet secure we stand. 2 How wondrous is that mighty pow'r Which form'd us with a word! And ev'ry day, and ev'ry hour, We lean upon the Lord. 3 The ev'ning rests our weary head, And mercy guards the room. We wake, and we admire the bed That was not made our tomb. 4 The rising morn cannot assure, That we shall end the day; For death stands ready at the door To take our lives away. 5 God is our Sun, whose daily light Our joy and safety brings; Our feeble frame lies safe at night Beneath his shady wings.
