Hosanna to our conquering king!
The prince of darkness flies,
His troops rush headlong down to hell,
Like lightning from the skies.

There, bound in chains, the lions roar,
And fright the rescued sheep.
But heavy bars confine their power
And malice to the deep.

Hosanna to our conquering king!
All hail, incarnate Love!
Ten thousand songs and glories wait
To crown Thy head above.

Thy victories and deathless fame
Throughout the world shall run,
And everlasting ages sing
The triumphs Thou hast won.
