The second Part.
1
The first day now it doth begin;
an end is put to Sin,
Eternal Righteousness brought in
Hosannah in the highest.
2
The Grave did ope thou didst arise,
ye Saints lift up your Eyes,
The Morning's come, all Darkness flies,
Hosannah in the highest.
3
Infernal Spirits cry and howl,
their overthrow condole,
For ever now their hopes are cool,
Hosannah in the highest.
5
Now, Sin, Death, Devils and the Grave,
and th'World which did inslave,
Are all all o'ercome, and their Death have,
Hosannah in the highest.
6
Behold how his sweet Arms were spread,
whilst his dear Blood was shed,
That Sinners might be gathered,
Hosannah in the highest.
7
Our sins upon thee, Lord, were laid,
and all our Debts hast paid;
Of Hell we need not be afraid,
Hosannah in the highest.
8
God's dreadful Wrath thou didst appease,
guilty Conscience to ease,
And now canst save whom thou dost please,
Hosannah in the highest.
