Hosanna Sang the Children

Verse 1

There were many children’s voices, In the songs the Hebrews sang, When they crossed the mighty waters, And the loud hosannas rang; They were fleeing from oppression, From the tyrant’s cruel hand; They were marching on to Canaan, To find the Promised Land.

Chorus

Hosanna, hosanna, Sang the children by the sea; Hosanna, hosanna, For the Lord hath made us free.

Verse 2

They were marching through the deserts, Through the burning fiery day, But they sang the songs of triumph As they marched along the way; Oh, the cruel horse and rider, They were wrecked upon the strand; While the children marched to Canaan, To find the Promised Land.

Verse 3

There are many children’s voices In the grand triumphal song Of the ransomed ones of Jesus, As they sing and march along; They have heard the voice of Jesus, And, a faithful pilgrim band, They are marching on to Canaan, To find the Promised Land.
