1 Hosanna sing to the Lord of creation,
His praises tell who hath brought us salvation;
All his power proclaim, bless his wonderful name,
Jehovah the mighty, he’s ever the same.

Refrain:
We praise thy name, high in glory excelling,
Celestial hosts day and night thy pow’r telling;
Glad hosannas we bring, unto thee praises sing,
We crown thee forever, our Master and Lord, our King.

2 Crown him with song, to his throne worship bringing;
“Immortal Lord,” world to world with joy singing;
Robed in garments of light, in his majesty bright,
Extol him confessing his wisdom and might. [Refrain]

3 Hosannas bring, crowd his gates with rejoicing,
In loudest strains his eternal love voicing;
He is King evermore, come, behold and adore;
His reign shall be glorious from shore unto shore. [Refrain]
