Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 3
"Hosanna in the highest!" that ancient song we sing,
For Christ is
our Redeemer, the Lord
of heav'n our King.
O may we ever praise
Him with
heart and life and voice,
And in His
blissful presence eternally rejoice!
