134 O Bride of Christ, Rejoice

1 O bride of Christ, rejoice! Exultant raise your voice To hail the day of glory Foretold in sacred story. Hosanna! Now adore him; With praises bow before him! 2 He wears no kingly crown, Yet as a King is known; Though not arrayed in splendor, He shall make death surrender. Hosanna! Now adore him; With praises bow before him! 3 The weak and timid find How meek he is and kind; He graciously will hear you And be forever near you. Hosanna! Now adore him; With praises bow before him! 4 E'en babes with one accord With you shall praise the Lord And ev'ry gentle nation Respond with exultation: Hosanna! Now adore him; With praises bow before him! 5 Then go your Lord to meet; Strew palm leaves at his feet; Your garments spread before him, And honor and adore him. Hosanna! Sing the story Of Christ, the King of glory!
