     9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. 10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth. 11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

     12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee; 13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man. 14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south. 15 The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar. 16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land. 17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.(KJV)

1. O bride of Christ, rejoice; 
Exultant raise thy voice 
To hail the day of glory 
Foretold in sacerd story. 
Hosanna, praise, and glory! 
Our King, we bow before Thee. 

2. Let shouts of gladness rise 
Triumphant to the skies. 
Now comes the King most glorious 
To reign o’er all victorious: 
Hosanna, praise, and glory! 
Our King, we bow before Thee. 

3. He wears no kingly crown, 
Yet as a King is known; 
Though not arrayed in splendor, 
Hosanna, praise, and glory! 
Our King, we bow before Thee. 

4. The weak and timid find 
How meek He is and kind; 
To them He gives a treasure 
Of bliss beyond all measure. 
Hosanna, praise, and glory! 
Our King, we bow before Thee. 

5. Thy heart now open wide, 
Bid Christ with thee abide. 
He graciously will hear thee 
And be forever near thee. 
Hosanna, praise, and glory! 
Our King, we bow before Thee. 

6. Then go thy Lord to meet; 
Strew palm-leaves at His feet; 
Thy garments spread before Him 
And honor and adore Him. 
Hosanna, praise, and glory! 
Our King, we bow before Thee. 

7. E’en babes with one accord 
With thee shall praise the Lord 
And every Gentile nation 
Respond with exultation: 
Hosanna, praise, and glory! 
Our King, we bow before Thee.
