Text:Hosanna to Christ

I.XVI. Hosanna to Christ

1 Hosannah 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 Immanuel's name.

3 Bless'd he that comes to wretched men
With peaceful news from heav'n!
Hosannas of the highest strain
To Christ the Lord be given!

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