Hosanna, Loud Hosanna
United Methodist Hymnal #278
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.
From Olivet they followed mid an
exultant crowd,
The victor palm branch waving, and
chanting clear and loud.
The Lord of Earth and Heaven rode on
in lowly state,
Nor scorned that little children
should on his bidding wait.
"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!
