If you know where to get a good picture of Beddome (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
Hosanna to the Son of God
Who deigned to dwell on earth!
Angels proclaimed the joyful news
Of our Redeemer’s birth.
Hosanna to the rightful heir
Of David’s royal throne,
Excelling earthly kings by far,
Our mighty cornerstone.
To Him who claims, and well deserves,
Our most exalted praise,
We with united hearts and tongues,
Our loud hosannas raise.
