5.5.5.5 D James Montgomery Old and Young praising Jesus together. O come, let us raise Our tribute of song; Thanksgiving and praise To Jesus belong: -- He came from above Our bliss to begin, Make perfect in love, And free us from sin. The old and the young, His people by choice, With heart, soul, and tongue, In Him may rejoice: -- We meet Him to-day Triumphantly crown'd, And welcome His way, In chorus around. Hosanna! -- that word To children is dear; To Jesus our Lord, We'll echo it here; -- Let worldlings despise, And enemies rail, Hosannas shall rise, Hosannas prevail. God's temple shall ring, While under His eye, Hosanna we sing, For Jesus draws nigh: Hosanna! our breath Through life shall proclaim; Hosanna! in death, In glory, the same! |
