Lutheran Hymnal: 005 - O Bride of Christ, Rejoice

1 O bride of Christ, rejoice; Exultant raise thy voice To hail the day of glory Foretold in sacred story: Hosanna, praise, and glory! Our King, we bow before Thee. 2 Let shouts of gladness rise Triumphant to the skies; Here comes the King most glorious To reign o’er all victorious: Hosanna, praise, and glory! Our King, we bow before Thee. 3 He wears no kingly crown, Yet as a King is known; Though not arrayed in splendour, He still makes death surrender: Hosanna, praise, and glory! Our King, we bow before Thee. 4 The weak and timid find Him gentle, good, and kind; To them He gives a treasure Of bliss beyond all measure: Hosanna, praise, and glory! Our King, we bow before Thee. 5 Thy heart now open wide, Bid Christ with thee abide; He graciously will hear thee And be for ever near thee: Hosanna, praise, and glory! Our King, we bow before Thee. 6 Then go thy Lord to meet, Strew palm-leaves at His feet; Thy garments spread before Him, And honour and adore Him: Hosanna, praise, and glory! Our King, we bow before Thee. 7 E’en babes with one accord With thee shall praise the Lord, And every gentile nation Respond with exultation: Hosanna, praise, and glory! Our King, we bow before Thee.
