60. Hosanna in the Highest

1 In the beautiful temple the children sang
Hosanna! hosanna!
And the balmy spring air with their voices rang.
Hosanna! hosanna!
Again spring is here with its sunny days,
Again let the children their voices raise
In joyful chorus, in carols of praise,
Hosanna! hosanna! hosanna!

2 To the beautiful temple the Saviour came
Hosanna! hosanna!
And he smiled on the children who sang his name.
Hosanna! hosanna!
Again he will come to his courts below,
Again he will welcome the cheerful flow
Of hymns ascending from hearts all aglow,
Hosanna! hosanna! hosanna!

3 In the beautiful temple that's built on high,
Hosanna! hosanna!
In the glorious city beyond the sky,
Hosanna! hosanna!
Again he will hear the rejoicing song
Of children who love him, a ransomed throng,
To him all worship, all glory belong,
Hosanna! hosanna! hosanna!
