1 Children once were heard to sing
Welcome unto Israel's King,
When so many silent were,
Their hosannas fill'd the air.

Chorus:
Shout hosanna unto David's Son!
Shout hosanna as with joy we sing!
Shout hosanna! shout hosanna!
Shout hosanna unto Christ our King!

2 Oh, how gladly we should try,
When the Lord is passing by,
Some kind sign of love to bring,
And hosannas loudly sing. [Chorus]

3 Jesus, thou art still the same,
Still thou dost thy love proclaim;
Oh, come visit us today,
Enter ev'ry heart we pray. [Chorus]
