HYMNS. ADVENT SUNDAY. ΜΑΤΤ. ΧΧΙ. HOSANNA to the living Lord! Hosanna to the incarnate Word! To Christ, Creator, Saviour, King, Hosanna! Lord! Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna, Lord! thine angels cry; Hosanna, Lord! thy saints reply; Above, beneath us, and around, The dead and living swell the sound; Hosanna! Lord! Hosanna in the highest! Oh, Saviour! with protecting care, Where we thy parting promise claim! Hosanna! Lord! Hosanna in the highest! But, chiefest, in our cleansed breast, Eternal bid thy spirit rest, And make our secret soul to be A temple pure, and worthy thee ! Hosanna! Lord! Hosanna in the highest! So, in the last and dreadful day, Hosanna! Lord! Hosanna in the highest! |
