v.24-26 C. M. Hosanna; the Lord's day; or, Christ's resurrection and our salvation. This is the day the Lord hath made, He calls the hours his own; Let heav'n rejoice, let earth be glad, And praise surround the throne. Today he rose and left the dead, And Satan's empire fell; Today the saints his triumphs spread, And all his wonders tell. Hosanna to th' anointed King, To David's holy Son; Help us, O Lord; descend and bring Salvation from thy throne. Blest be the Lord, who comes to men With messages of grace; Who comes in God his Father's name To save our sinful race. Hosanna in the highest strains The church on earth can raise; The highest heav'ns, in which he reigns, Shall give him nobler praise. |
