hymnal 141
1 Hosanna, loud hosanna the little children sang;
Through pillared court and temple the lovely anthem rang;
To Jesus, who had blessed them close folded to His breast;
The children sang their praises, the simplest and the best.
2 From Olivet they followed mid an exultant crowd,
The victor palm branch waving, and chanting clear and loud;
The Lord of men and angels rode on in lowly state,
nor scorned that little children should on His biding wait
3 Hosanna in the highest! That ancient song we sing,
For Christ is our Redeemer, the Lord of heaven, our King;
O may we ever praise Him with heart and life and voice,
and in His blissful presence eternally rejoice! amen.
