CPWI Hymnal ‎#590

590. Hosanna to the living Lord!

1 Hosanna to the living Lord!
Hosanna to the the Incarnate Word,
to Christ, Creator, Saviour, King,
let earth, let heaven hosanna sing,
hosanna in the highest!

2 O Saviour, with protecting care,
abide in this thy house of prayer,
where we thy parting promise claim,
assembled in thy sacred name.
Hosanna in the highest!

3 But, chiefest, in our cleansèd breast,
Eternal, bid thy Spirit rest;
and make our secret soul to be
a temple pure and worthy thee.
Hosanna in the highest!

4 To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
be honour, praise, and glory given
by all on earth and all in heaven.
Hosanna in the highest! [Refrain]
