Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David ‎#VIII

VIII. Hosannah to Christ

1 Hosanna to the royal Son,
Of David's ancient line
His natures two, his person one,
Mysterious and divine.

2 The root of David here we find
And offspring is the same;
Eternity and time are join'd
In our Emanual's name.

3 Blest he who comes to wretched men
With peaceful news from heaven!
Hosannah of the highest strain
To Christ the Lord be given!

4 Let mortals ne'er refuse to take
Hosannah on their tongues,
Lest rocks and stones should rise, and break
Their silence into songs.
