95. Hosanna

1 Hosanna to Jesus, our Saviour and King,
His cross and his triumph we joyfully sing;
With hearts and with voices together we’ll raise
A chorus of high-sounding notes to his praise.

Chorus:
Yes, music, sweet music with gladness we’ll bring,
Yes music, sweet music with gladness we'll bring,
And lay on the altar, and lay on the altar of Jesus, of Jesus, our King,
We’ll laud and extol his adorable name,
We'll laud and extol his adorable name,
And shout to his honor, and shout to his honor,
With joyful, with joyful acclaim.

2 For Jesus is worthy all praise to receive,
He came in his mercy our woes to relieve;
He died to redeem us from sin and from hell,
That we with the angels in glory might dwell. [Chorus]

3 For us he was tortured, and wounded, and slain,
For us he was subject to anguish and pain;
In love and compassion he pour’d out his blood,
And laid down his life, a rich ransom to God. [Chorus]
