Hosanna to King Da­vid’s son

Descended from the heav’n­ly throne;

In Christ­mas songs we hail His birth

Who brought sal­va­tion to the earth.

Hosanna to King Da­vid’s son

Hosanna to King Da­vid’s son

Hosanna in the high­est.

Hosanna to the new­born Child

Of vir­gin mo­ther

meek and mild!

In man­ger cra­dle see Him laid

By whom the earth and heav’ns were made.

Hosanna to the Won­der­ful!

Hosanna to the Won­der­ful!

Hosanna in the high­est.

Hosanna to th’in­car­nate Word

In Beth­l’hem born! the migh­ty God!

Our hearts and tongues with joy shall raise

Their glad ho­san­nas to His praise!

Hosanna to the migh­ty God!

Hosanna to the migh­ty God!

Hosanna in the high­est.

With shep­herds on Ju­dea’s plains

With an­gels in their nob­ler strains;

Let our ho­san­nas joy­ful rise

To join the an­thems of the skies!

Hosanna

ev­er­last­ing Fa­ther!

Hosanna

ev­er­last­ing Fa­ther!

Hosanna in the high­est.

Let ev­ery na­tion

ev­ery voice

In mer­ry Christ­mas songs re­joice;

Both old and young with glad­ness sing

That Christ is born to be our king!

Hosanna to the Prince of Peace!

Hosanna to the Prince of Peace!

Hosanna in the high­est.
