<p>O Bride of Christ, rejoice!<br>
Exultant raise thy voice<br>
To hail the day of glory,<br>
Foretold in sacred story.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">Hosanna, praise and glory,<br>
Our King, we bow before Thee.</p>
<p>Let shouts of gladness rise<br>
Triumphant to the skies.<br>
Here comes the King most glorious<br>
To reign o&#8217;er all victorious</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>He wears no kingly crown<br>
Yet as a king He&#8217;s known;<br>
Though not arrayed in splendor,<br>
He still makes death surrender.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Thy heart now open wide,<br>
Bid Christ with thee abide;<br>
He graciously will hear thee,<br>
And be forever near thee.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>E&#8217;en babes with one accord<br>
With thee shall praise the Lord,<br>
And every gentile nation<br>
Respond with exultation.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
