HosANNA to Him, Whom angels adore,
In glory supreme. In goodness and power!
With glad acclamation Our voices we raise.
Ascribing salvation To Jesus's grace!

His Father's Delight He comes for our sake,
To challenge His right His kingdom to take:
He comes in the Spirit Of power from above.
That man may inherit A kingdom of love.

How welcome to man The kingdom He brings!
His people we reign Both subjects and kings;
And while we His praises Exult to repeat
In heavenly places With Jesus we sit.

Our Lord from the skies Again shall come down,
And bid us arise And compass His throne,
With fix'd adoration Transported to gaze.
And see our salvation Reveal'd in His face.
