Hosanna to the Son of David

Orlando Gibbons

Hosanna to the Son of David:
blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Blessed be the King of Israel;
blessed be the Kingdom that cometh in the name of the Lord:
peace in heaven, and glory in the highest places;
Hosanna in the highest heavens.

Matthew 21, Mark 11, Luke 19
