Bless him, who comes to sinful men,
With peaceful news from heaven!
Hosannas of the highest strain,

To Christ the Lord be given!

Let children ne'er refuse to take

Th' hosanna on their tongues;

Lest rocks and stones should rise, and break
Their silence into songs.

Glory, honor, praise and power,

Be unto the Lamb forever;
Jesus Christ is our Redeemer,

Hallelujah! hallelujah! praise the Lord.
