Hosanna! Be the Children’s Song

Hosanna! be the child­ren’s song

To Christ

the child­ren’s king;

His praise

to whom our souls be­long

Let all the child­ren sing.

Hosanna! sound from hill to hill

And spread from plain to plain

While loud­er

sweet­er

clear­er still

Woods ec­ho to the strain.

Hosanna! on the wings of light

O’er earth and ocean fly

Till morn to eve

and noon to night

And Heav­en to earth

rep­ly.

Hosanna! then

our song shall be;

Hosanna to our king!

This is the child­ren’s ju­bi­lee;

Let all the child­ren sing.
