Hosanna to God In his highest abode

Verse 1
Hosanna to God
In his highest abode,
Who to carry our cause
Stoop’d down to our earth, and expir’d on a cross;
Whose presence we find,
While we call Him to mind,
And the benefits prove
Of his life-giving death, and his ransoming love.

Verse 2
Thro’ faith in thy blood
Our pardon bestow’d
Exulting we feel;
And the Spirit of love is the Witness and Seal,
Is the Earnest, and more,
When our Lord we adore,
Without shadow, or Sign,
And eternally feast on the fulness Divine.
