Hosanna, Laud Hosanna

Hosanna, Loud Hosanna – NRUMC Praise Team 2024
Hosanna, Loud Hosanna – Instrumental

1. Hosanna, loud hosanna,  the little children sang, through pillared court and temple the lovely anthem rang. To Jesus, who had blessed them close folded to his breast, the children sang their praises, the simplest and the best. 
2. From Olivet they followed mid an exultant crowd, the victor palm branch waving, and chanting clear and loud.  The Lord of earth and heaven rode on in lowly state, nor scorned that little children should on his bidding wait. 
3. “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!

Sweet Hour of Prayer

1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 
that calls me from a world of care, and bids me at my Father’s throne make all my wants and wishes known.  In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief, and oft escaped the tempter’s snare by thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 
2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 
the joys I feel, the bliss I share of those whose anxious spirits burn with strong desires for thy return! With such I hasten to the place where God my Savior shows his face, and gladly take my station there, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 
3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! 
thy wings shall my petition bear to him whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless. And since he bids me seek his face, believe his word, and trust his grace, I’ll cast on him my every care, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
