1 Blessèd is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!
Joyfully let us meet him!
Lovingly let us greet him!
Blessèd is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest!
Echo his wondrous praises in the sweetest accord!
Lo! every valley ringeth,
Tidings of joy he bringeth!
Blessèd is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! Amen, Amen.

2 Blessèd is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!
Bear we the palms before him!
Let every heart adore him!
Blessèd is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest!
Rest to the weary-hearted he hath kindly restored;
Welcome him in your sadness!
Welcome the King of gladness!
Blessèd is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! Amen! Amen!

3 Blessèd is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!
Honor to him forever!
Thanks unto God the Giver!
Blessèd is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest!
Sin he hath proudly conquered by the might of his Word!
Little ones round him bending,
Greet him with praise unending!—
Blessèd is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! Amen! Amen!
