1. "Hosanna in the highest", the little children sang;
Through pillared court and temple, the joyful anthem rang
The Lord of earth and heaven rode on in lowly state,
Nor scorned that little children should on his bidding wait.

refrain

2. "Hosanna in the highest", that ancient song we sing,
For Christ is our Redeemer, the Lord of Heaven, our King.
O may we ever praise Him, with heart and life and voice,
and in His blissful presence eternally rejoice.

refrain

Sanna sannanina, sanna, sanna, sanna
Sanna sannanina, sanna, sanna, sanna
Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest!
