Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #589 (1972) Refrain First Line: Hosanna! hosanna! hosanna to the Lamb of God Lyrics: 1 He's gone, the spotless soul is gone,
Triumphant to his place above;
The prison walls are broken down,
The angels speed his swift remove;
And shouting on their wings he flies,
And gains his rest in Paradise.
Chorus:
Hosanna! hosanna! hosanna to the Lamb of God,
Glory, glory, let us sing,
Grateful honors to our King,
Hosanna! hosanna! hosanna to the Lamb of God!
2 Saved by the merits of his Lord,
Glory and praise to Christ he gives;
Yet still his merciful reward
According to his works receives,
And with the bliss he sowed below,
His bliss eternally shall grow. [Chorus]
3 Father, to us vouchsafe the grace
Which bro't our friend victorious thro';
Let us his shining footsteps trace;
Let us his steadfast faith pursue;
Follow this follower of the Lamb,
And conquer all thro' Jesus' name. [Chorus] Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Heaven Inhabitants of Scripture: Daniel 7:10 Languages: English Tune Title: HOSANNA
