134. O Bride of Christ, Rejoice

1 O bride of Christ, rejoice!
Exultant raise your voice
To hail the day of glory
Foretold in sacred story.
Hosanna! Now adore him;
With praises bow before him!

2 He wears no kingly crown,
Yet as a King is known;
Though not arrayed in splendor,
He shall make death surrender.
Hosanna! Now adore him;
With praises bow before him!

3 The weak and timid find
How meek he is and kind;
He graciously will hear you
And be forever near you.
Hosanna! Now adore him;
With praises bow before him!

4 E'en babes with one accord
With you shall praise the Lord
And ev'ry gentile nation
Respond with exultation:
Hosanna! Now adore him;
With praises bow before him!

5 Then go your Lord to meet;
Strew palm leaves at his feet;
Your garments spread before him,
And honor and adore him.
Hosanna! Sing the story
Of Christ, the King of glory!
