Hosanna! praise the Lord, and bless
According to his holiness,
And let your praises tow'r;
O bless him in sublimest strains,
Where in the firmament he reigns
Of his exalted pow'r.

The works of his Almighty hand,
Which on eternal record stand,
With hymns of thanks review;
On his majestic glory dwell,
Whose rays all excellence excel,
And give the praises due.

The best and boldest blast be blown
From trumpet of triumphant tone
Abroad his praise to send;
His name upon the lute be sung,
With citerns to his praises strung,
The work of joy attend

Take up the timbrel, let the sound
Extol him as the dances bound,
And let the pipes conspire
To give his praises to the wind,
And let your organ's voice be join'd
By minstrels on the wire.

Well order'd to a just degree
Of their most perfect melody
With cymbals praise his name
And let the cymbals full and strong
Together and with all their song
Aloud his praise proclaim.

Let all things that have breath to breathe
From heav'n above, from earth beneath,
To Christ's renown repair;
O give him back your breath again,
Put all the life into the strain,
And soar by praise and pray'r!
