Hosanna Loud Hosanna the Little Children Sang Jesus on Trial African Art

Representative Text

i Hosanna, loud hosanna
the little children sang;
through pillared court and temple
the lovely anthem rang.
To Jesus, who had blessed them,
shut folded to his breast,
the children sang their praises,
the simplest and the best.

2 From Olivet they followed
mid an exultant oversupply,
the victory palm branch waving,
and chanting articulate and loud.
The Lord of earth and heaven
rode on in lowly land,
nor scorned that lilliputian children
should on his bidding wait.

iii "Hosanna in the highest!"
That ancient song nosotros sing,
for Christ is our Redeemer,
the Lord of heaven, our King.
O may we e'er praise him
with eye and life and voice,
and in his beatific presence
eternally rejoice.

Psalter Hymnal

Author: Jennette Threlfall

Jeannette Threlfall'south (b. Blackburn, Lancashire, England, 1821; d. Westminster, London, 1880) life was extremely hard: she was orphaned at an early age, and two serious accidents caused her to be an invalid for life. But she bore her misfortune with grace and fortitude and maintained a ministry to many people who came in contact with her. Threlfall wrote devotional verse, which was published anonymously in various periodicals and subsequently collected in Woodsorrel, or Leaves from a Retired Habitation (1856) and Sunshine and Shadow (1873), which included "Hosanna, Loud Hosanna."

Like "All Glory, Laud, and Accolade" (375/376), this text is based on Christ'due south triumphal entry on Palm Dominicus. However, "Hosanna, Loud Hosanna" focuses more on the children'south role in that effect. The text was written by Jeannette Threlfall (b. Blackburn, Lancashire, England, 1821; d. Westminster, London, 1880) in an "idle moment" (as she says she wrote all of her hymns, all others of which take been forgotten). Undoubtedly, Threlfall had Marker xi in mind when she wrote this text, but she also alludes to Jesus' welcoming of the children in Marker 10:13-16. Stanzas i and two tell how the children shared in the songs during Christ's procession into Jerusalem. Stanza 3 is our cue to participate in praising our Redeemer.

Threlfall's life was extremely difficult: she was orphaned at an early age, and 2 serious accidents caused her to be an invalid for life. Simply she diameter her misfortune with grace and fortitude and maintained a ministry to many people who came in contact with her. Threlfall wrote devotional poesy, which was published anonymously in various periodicals and later collected in Woodsorrel, or Leaves from a Retired Home (1856) and Sunshine and Shadow (1873), which included "Hosanna, Loud Hosanna."

Liturgical Use:
Palm Sunday, in conjunction with the Palm Lord's day gospel reading or the children's message.

ELLACOMBE

Published in a chapel hymnal for the Duke of Würtemberg (Gesangbuch der Herzogl, 1784), ELLACOMBE (the name of a village in Devonshire, England) was beginning ready to the words "Ave Maria, klarer und lichter Morgenstern." During the beginning half of the nineteenth century various German hymnals altered the…

There was a video that went viral a few years agone of a 4-year-old girl looking in the mirror and exclaiming how much she loved everything in her life. I suspect information technology went viral because of its infectious positivity and the reminder that nosotros could all employ some child-like enthusiasm and gratitude. If we withal need this bulletin today, it means we take forgotten in office the cute story of Jesus welcoming the children unto him. Those children were able, more than the adults, to receive the Kingdom of Sky like a gift, with unquestioning joy and gratitude.

Jeannette Threlfall reminds us of that joy in her hymn, "Hosanna, Loud Hosanna." She imagines those children running throughout the city, bursting with excitement and love for Jesus; a simple, undignified, giddy kind of love. Every bit we enhance our own "Hosannas," we are called and invited to do so with the same exuberance and joy as these children who praised the 1 who first loved them.

Text:

Jeannette Threlfall said that she often wrote her hymns in an "idle moment" (Psalter Hymnal Handbook). Of all her hymn texts and poems, this is the only i even so sung. Almost every modern hymnal contains the same three verses, but those verses have all changed over time. Today's 2d verse is fabricated up of the original 2d half of poetry two, and the first half of the original verse three. Her text mainly relates the events of Christ'south triumphant entry into Jerusalem, but information technology too alludes to Mark ten:thirteen-xvi, where Jesus welcomes the lilliputian children to come to Him, pointing more starkly to the kind of King that Jesus was and is.

Tune:

Almost beyond the board, Threlfall'due south text is set to the much-loved tune ELLACOMBE. This melody was first written for the Knuckles of Wurtemberg and published in a chapel hymnal in 1784. Information technology'south now the accompanying tune for a number of hymns, but is most frequently sung with "Hosanna, Loud Hosanna." This is a elementary vocal to teach children for a processional, and to sing in harmony.

Since this hymn is nigh ever sung on Palm Lord's day, one option that might mix things up is to use the melody ST. THEODULPH, the tune for "All Glory, Laud, and Honor." Both of these hymns are often sung on Palm Dominicus; if yous sing ane at the offset and one at the end of the service, using the same tune creates nice bookends for your time of worship.

When/Why/How:

This Palm Sunday hymn is fitting both equally a processional and as a hymn of response to the Gospel reading. If used every bit a processional, it would be difficult to take the children sing and walk with palm branches at the same time, but if it's sung at a dissimilar point in the service, consider having a children's choir sing either the entire hymn or the first verse with the congregation coming in on verse 2. Again, note the depth of the message in Threlfall's hymn. By alluding to the story of Jesus welcoming the little children, she both demonstrates what kind of Male monarch Jesus is, and what kind of worship we ought to bring earlier Him. Christ, who loves the helpless and the innocent, asks for our elementary, undignified, joyful praise. Consider writing a prayer of confession that expresses our failure at humbling ourselves to the point of undignified love and worship, and asking Christ to give us hearts similar those of children. You lot could then sing this hymn equally a response of assurance and dedication.
