A Christmas Canticle

Hosanna in the highest
We praise you Lord Jesus
You alone are the finest

Oh Lord, we worship you
With voice and organ
Let our devotion be true

His birth made Christmas mirth
Jesus is the sinless God Man
He saves the sons of earth

Christ came on a cold night
In a humble stable
Above the Christmas star shone bright

This birth was unlike any before
He was truly the Son of God
This was history, not folklore

As a man Christ would be a propitiation
He incarnated as a helpless babe
This is the reason for our celebration

So eat and be merry
Pray for Christ’s return
I hope He does not tarry
