(narration)
CHOIR
Our Hope and Deliverer promised of old,
For whom we have waited e'er long,
Hath come to redeem us from slavery's yoke
And deliver His people back home.
Come, Israel, come and see He who shall reign,
In whom we will ever rejoice,
We hear the sound of the glorious refrain
And it echoeth back in our voice:
Hosanna! Hosanna! Thy Savior hath come, O Israel,
And blessed He'll ever be called!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Sing praises to God,
For our Hope, our Deliv'rer, our All!
Oh, why should we wander as strangers from Thee
And turn from Thy bounteous hand?
Restore and defend us, oh, set us free,
That beside Thee we ever may stand!
(Refrain)
He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice,
And myriads wait for His word;
He speaks, and eternity, filled with His voice,
Re-echoes the praise of her Lord:
(Refrain)
Hosanna! Hosanna! Thy Savior hath come,
Our Hope, our Salvation, our All!
