The Church Hymnal‎#604

1 Hosanna, they were singing,
When Jesus lived below,
Those little Jewish children,
Who loved the Saviour so.

2 Hosanna, now through Advent
With loving hearts we sing,
For Jesus Christ is coming
To be His children's King.

3 Hosanna! Blessed Saviour,
Come in our hearts to dwell,
And let our lives and voices
Thy praise and glory tell.

4 For we who sing Hosanna,
Must like our Saviour be,
In gentleness and meekness,
In love and purity.

5 Hosanna! let this welcome
Ring out from every heart;
Draw nigh to us, O Jesus,
And nevermore depart.

6 So when we see Thee coming
With angels in the sky,
Hosanna, Lord, Hosanna,
Shall be thy children's cry.
