Hosanna, Loud Hosanna
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A Palm Sunday hymn written by Jeanette Threlfall in 1873, depicting the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem as children and crowds wave palm branches and cry hosanna. It calls believers to join in the ancient praise of Christ as Redeemer and King.
Verse 1
Hosanna, loud hosanna,
the little children sang;
through pillared court
and temple
the lovely anthem rang.
To Jesus, who had
blessed them
close folded to his breast,
the children sang
their praises,
the simplest and the best.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
“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!
