1.
Ho-san-na
to
Je-sus,
my
soul's
fill'd
with
praises,
Come,
O
my
dear
brethren,
and
help
me
to
sing;
No
mu-sic
so
charming,
no
look
is
so
warming,
It
gives
life,
and
comfort,
and
gladness
within }
Hosanna is
ringing:
O
how
I
love
singing,
There's
2.
Ho -san-na
to
Je-sus!
my
soul
how
it
pleases,
To
see
sinners
falling
and
crying
to
God:
Then
shouting
and
praising,
they
cry,
"Tis
a-mazing,
We've
found
peace
and
pardon
in
J
esus's
blood }
Hosanna
is
ringing,
hark
how
they
are
singing
nothing
so
sweet
as
the
sound
of
His
name;
The
an-gels
in
glo
-ry
re
-
peat
the
glad
sto
-
ry
Of
love
which
in
Je
-
sus
is
made
known
to
man.
"All
glo
-
ry
to
Je -sus,
we've
tasted
his
love."
The
kingdom
of
heaven
to
mortals
is
given,
And
rolls
through
my
soul
from
the
mansions
above.
Little
is
known
of

the
Souther
Musical
Convention

have
been
able
to
ascertain.
Neither

He

music
in

and

for
several
years.
