The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 ‎#559

559. Hosanna! Raise the pealing hymn

1 Hosanna! Raise the pealing hymn
To David's Son and Lord:
With cherubim and seraphim,
Exalt the Incarnate Word.

2 Hosanna! Lord, our feeble tongue
No lofty strains can raise;
But Thou wilt not despise the young,
Who meekly chant Thy praise.

3 Hosanna! Sovereign, Prophet, Priest,
How vast Thy gifts, how free!
Thy Blood, our life; Thy Word, our feast;
Thy Name, our only plea.

4 Hosanna! Once Thy gracious ear
Approved a lisping throng;
Be gracious till, and deign to hear
Our ever grateful song.

Amen.
