Sorrowful, your sins confess,
Plead his perfect righteousness,
See the Savior's bleeding side!
Come, you will not be denied.
For his worship now prepare,
Kneel to him in fervent pray'r,
Serve him with a perfect heart,
Never from his ways depart.
HOSANNA.
[[Listen]]
Hosannas were by children sung,
When Jesus was on earth;
Then surely we are not too young
To sound his praises forth:
The Lord is great, the Lord is good;
He feeds us from his store,
With earthly and with heav'nly food,
We'll praise him evermore.
And when to him young children came,
He took them in his arms:
He bless'd them in his Father's name,
And spoke with heav'nly charms:
We thank him for his gracious word,
We thank him for his love:
We'll sing the praises of our Lord,
Who reigns in heav'n above.
Before he left this world of woe,
On Calvary he died;
His blood for us did freely flow
Forth from his wounded side;
O, then we'll magnify his name
Who groan'd and died for us;
We'll worship the atoning Lamb,
And kneel before his cross.
He rose again and walk'd abroad,
And many saw his face:
They call'd him the incarnate God,
Redeemer of our race:
He rose and he ascended high,
We'll bow to his command:
His glories fill the earth and sky,
He sits at God's right hand.
