Hosanna, loud ho - sa  -  an - na,
G   C      D        G 
the little children sang, 
D       G        D     G   Em     C      G
through pillared court and te  -  em  -  ple 
G   C      Dsus4      D    G
the lovely an    -    them rang.

To Jesus, who had blessed them 
D     G   D   G   C   D
close folded  to  his breast, 
D   G        D    G     Em    C     G
the children sang their pra - ais - es, 
G   C        Dsus4  D   G
the simplest and    the best. 

From Olivet they followed 
mid an exultant crowd, 
the victor palm branch waving, 
and chanting clear and loud. 
The Lord of earth and heaven 
rode on in lowly state, 
nor scorned that little children 
should on his bidding wait. 

"Hosanna in the highest!" 
that ancient song we sing, 
for Christ is our Redeemer, 
the Lord of heaven our King. 
O may we ever praise him 
with heart and life and voice, 
and in his blissful presence 
eternally rejoice!
