Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #112 (1899) Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes Lyrics: 1 Hosanna to the royal Son
Of David's ancient line,
His natures two, His person one,
Mysterious and divine,
Mysterious and divine.
2 The root of David, here we find,
And offspring is the same:
Eternity and time are joined
In our Immanuel's name.
3 Blest He that comes to wretched men
With peaceful news from heaven;
Hosannas of the highest strain
To Christ the Lord be given.
4 Let mortals ne'er refuse to take
Th'hosanna on their tongues,
Lest rocks and stones should rise, and break
Their silence into songs.
Amen. Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Divinity of; Christ Emmanuel; Christ Praise to; Christ Son of David; Christ Wonderful; Immanuel; Praise To Christ Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS
