Lyrics

Hosannah to the King
Of David’s an­cient blood!
Behold, He comes to bring
Forgiving grace from God:
Let old and young at­tend His way
And at His feet their hon­ors lay.

Glory to God on high,
Salvation to the Lamb;
Let earth, and sea and sky,
His won­drous love pro­claim;
Upon His head shall hon­ors rest
And ev­ery age pro­nounce Him blessed.
