Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest! MATT. XXI. 9.
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, saints in warfare cry;
Hosanna, saints at rest reply-
Above, beneath us, and around,
The dead, the living, swell the sound;
Hosanna! Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
3 O Saviour, with protecting care,
Return to this thy House of prayer:
Assembled in Thy sacred name,
We here Thy parting promise claim.
Hosanna! Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
4 But chiefest in our cleanséd breast,
Bid Thine eternal Spirit rest,
And make our secret soul to be
A temple pure, and worthy Thee.
Hosanna! Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
5 To God the Father, with the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Be honour, praise, and glory given,
By saints on earth, and saints in heaven :
Hosanna! Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God. REV. XII. 20.
1 Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of Mankind doth appear,
On clouds of glory seated;
The trumpet sounds, the graves restore
The dead which they contained before i
Prepare, my soul, to meet Him.
2 The dead in Christ are first to rise,
At the last trumpet's sounding;
Caught up to meet Him in the skies,
With joy their Lord surrounding :
No gloomy fears their souls dismay;
presence sheds eternal day
On those prepared to meet Him.
3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears,
Behold His wrath prevailing ;
For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing.
The day of grace is past and gone;
Trembling they stand before the Throne,
All unprepared to meet him.
4 Great Judge, to Thee my pray'rs I pour,
In deep abasement bending;
O shield me through that last dread hour,
Thy wondrous love extending:
The trumpet sounds, the graves restore
The dead which they contained before;
Prepare, my soul, to meet Him.
Behold he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him. REV. I. 7.
1. Lo! He comes, with clouds descending,
Once for ransomed sinners slain;
Thousand thousand Saints attending
Swell the triumph of His train:
Alleluia!
2 Ev'ry eye shall then behold Him
Rob'd in dreadful majesty ;
They who set at nought and sold Him,
Pierc'd and nail'd Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing
Shall the true Messiah see.
3 Ev'ry island, sea, and mountain,
Heav'n and earth, shall flee away
All who hate Him, must, confounded,
Hear the Trump proclaim the Day:
Come to judgment,
Come to judgment, come away!
4 Now redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear!
All His saints, by men rejected,
Rise and meet Him in the air:
Alleluia!
Angels, Martyrs, all are there!
5 Yea, Amen, let all adore Thee,
High on Thy eternal Throne :
Saviour! take the power and glory,
Make Thy righteous sentence known :
Oh come quickly,
Claim the kingdoms for thine own!
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion; behold thy King cometh unto thee. He is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt, the foal of an ass. ZECH. IX. 9.
1 Ride on ride on in Majesty!
Hark, all the tribes Hosanna cry:
O Saviour meek, pursue Thy road,
With palms and scattered garments strowed.
