Hosanna
to
Jesus,
who
died
to
redeem
us,
He's
now

To

comfort
his
children
below,
I'll
serve
him
[and

wherever
in. Hosanna
is
ringing!
I'm

while
singing,
And
shouting

The

Of
Jesus's
love,
which
is

Hosanna
for

And

heavenly
flame,
Is
rising
and
spreading
all

We
have
been
unable
to
find
the
author
of
the
above
tune.
It
was
placed
in
the
Sacred
1850.
It
is
probably
one
of
the
old
American
tunes.
It
has
been
published
in
some
of
the
earlier
books,
but
none

give
the
author.
