HYMN 49.

Hosannah to the living Lord;
Hosannah to th' incarnate Word!
To Christ, Creator, Saviour, King,
Let earth, let Heav'n Hosannah sing!

O Saviour! with protecting care
Return to this Thy House of Pray'r,
Assembled in Thy sacred Name,
Where we Thy parting promise claim.

But, chiefest in our cleansed breast,
Eternal! bid Thy Spirit rest,
And make our secret soul to be
A temple pure, and worthy Thee.

So, in the last and dreadful day,
When Heaven and earth shall pass away,
Thy flock, redeem'd from sinful stain,
Shall swell the sound of praise again.
