HYMN LXXXIII.

[Hosanna to Him Who ruleth on high!]

Hosanna to Him Who ruleth on high!
A world to redeem, He came from the sky;
The' Almighty Creator (O how could it be?)
Appear'd in our nature, An infant like me.
Who all the bright train Angelical made,
Subjected to man, His parents obey'd,
On sinners attended, Their minister was,
And patiently ended His life on a cross.

O how shall I praise Thy wonderful love?
Thy Spirit of grace Send down from above,
If still the dear Lover Of children Thou art,
My Saviour, discover Thyself to my heart.
