"O Bride of Christ, Rejoice" by unknown author, c. 1600 Victor O. Petersen, 1864 -1929 Text From: THE HANDBOOK TO THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1942)p.46 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. _______________________________________________________ Notes: Hymn #57 from _The Handbook to the Lutheran Hymnal_ Text: Luke 19:28-40 "O Bride of Christ, Rejoice" by unknown author, c. 1600 Victor O.
