1 Hosanna to the royal Son Of David's ancient line, His natures two, his person one, Mysterious and divine.
2 The root of David here we find, And offspring is the same; Eternity and time are join'd In our Immanuel's name.
3 Bless'd he that comes to wretched men With peaceful news from heaven; Hosannas of the highest strain To Christ the Lord be given.
4 Let mortals ne'er refuse to take Th' hosanna on their tongues, Lest rocks and stones should rise, and break Their silence into songs.
