413. Hosanna, Loud Hosanna

1 Hosanna, loud hosanna,
the little children sang;
thro' 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.

2 From Olivet they followed
mid an exultant crowd,
the victory palm branch waving
and chanting clear and loud.
The Lord of earth and heaven
rode on in lowly state
nor scorned that little children
should on his bidding wait.

3 "Hosanna in the highest!"
that ancient song we sing,
for Christ is our Redeemer,
the Lord of heav'n, our King.
Oh, may we ever praise him
with heart and life and voice
and in his blissful presence
eternally rejoice.
