3. Hosanna to th' anointed King, To David's holy Son ! Help us, O Lord ! descend and bring Salvation from Thy throne.
4. Blest be the Lord who comes to men With messages of grace ; Who comes in God His Father's To save our sinful race. [name
5. Hosanna, in the highest strains The Church on earth can raise ; The highest heavens in which He reigns Shall give Him nobler praise.
