Hosanna to th'incarnate Word!
To Christ, Creator, Savior, King,
let earth, let heav'n hosanna sing.
2 "Hosanna, Lord!" your angels cry;
"Hosanna, Lord!" your saints reply.
Throughout the earth, around your throne,
your people sing in sweetest tone.
3 O Savior, with protecting care
abide in this your house of prayer,
Where we your parting promise claim,
assembled in your sacred name.
4 O Spirit, all our sins forgive,
and come within our hearts to live.
Our souls shall be your temple pure
and you will make our faith endure.
5 So, on that last and dreadful day,
when earth and heav'n shall melt away,
your flock, redeemed from sinful stain,
shall swell the sound of praise again. Topics: Opening of Service Scripture: Matthew 21:1-9 Used With Tune: ST. CHAD
