Hosanna Loud Hosanna the Little Children Sang Gethsemane Art

Representative Text

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

2 From Olivet they followed
mid an exultant crowd,
the victory palm branch waving,
and chanting clear and loud.
The Lord of earth and sky
rode on in lowly state,
nor scorned that little children
should on his bidding await.

3 "Hosanna in the highest!"
That aboriginal song we sing,
for Christ is our Redeemer,
the Lord of heaven, our King.
O may nosotros always praise him
with centre and life and voice,
and in his blissful presence
eternally rejoice.

Psalter Hymnal

Writer: Jennette Threlfall

Jeannette Threlfall's (b. Blackburn, Lancashire, England, 1821; d. Westminster, London, 1880) life was extremely hard: she was orphaned at an early on 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 diverse periodicals and subsequently collected in Woodsorrel, or Leaves from a Retired Home (1856) and Sunshine and Shadow (1873), which included "Hosanna, Loud Hosanna."

Like "All Glory, Laud, and Honor" (375/376), this text is based on Christ'southward triumphal entry on Palm Sunday. However, "Hosanna, Loud Hosanna" focuses more on the children's role in that event. 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 have been forgotten). Undoubtedly, Threlfall had Marking eleven in heed when she wrote this text, but she also alludes to Jesus' welcoming of the children in Marking 10:13-sixteen. Stanzas i and ii 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 two serious accidents caused her to exist an invalid for life. Just she bore her misfortune with grace and fortitude and maintained a ministry building to many people who came in contact with her. Threlfall wrote devotional poesy, which was published anonymously in diverse 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 Sun gospel reading or the children'southward bulletin.

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 first gear up to the words "Ave Maria, klarer und lichter Morgenstern." During the first one-half of the nineteenth century various German hymnals altered the…

There was a video that went viral a few years ago of a four-year-former girl looking in the mirror and exclaiming how much she loved everything in her life. I suspect it went viral because of its infectious positivity and the reminder that we could all use some child-like enthusiasm and gratitude. If we yet demand this bulletin today, it ways we take forgotten in part the beautiful story of Jesus welcoming the children unto him. Those children were able, more than the adults, to receive the Kingdom of Sky similar a souvenir, 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 metropolis, bursting with excitement and love for Jesus; a simple, undignified, giddy kind of dear. Every bit we raise our own "Hosannas," we are called and invited to practice and so with the aforementioned exuberance and joy as these children who praised the One 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 just one still sung. Almost every modernistic hymnal contains the same three verses, just those verses have all changed over time. Today'south 2d verse is made up of the original second half of verse two, and the start one-half of the original poetry three. Her text mainly relates the events of Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem, simply it also alludes to Mark 10:xiii-16, where Jesus welcomes the piffling children to come to Him, pointing more starkly to the kind of Male monarch that Jesus was and is.

Melody:

Almost across the board, Threlfall's text is fix to the much-loved tune ELLACOMBE. This tune was get-go written for the Duke of Wurtemberg and published in a chapel hymnal in 1784. It'southward now the accompanying tune for a number of hymns, but is most often sung with "Hosanna, Loud Hosanna." This is a elementary song to teach children for a processional, and to sing in harmony.

Since this hymn is virtually always sung on Palm Sunday, one option that might mix things up is to use the tune ST. THEODULPH, the tune for "All Celebrity, Laud, and Honour." Both of these hymns are often sung on Palm Sunday; if y'all sing ane at the beginning and i at the end of the service, using the same tune creates nice bookends for your time of worship.

When/Why/How:

This Palm Sun hymn is fitting both as a processional and every bit a hymn of response to the Gospel reading. If used as a processional, it would be difficult to have the children sing and walk with palm branches at the same fourth dimension, but if information technology'southward sung at a unlike point in the service, consider having a children'southward choir sing either the entire hymn or the first verse with the congregation coming in on verse ii. Once more, note the depth of the message in Threlfall'southward hymn. By alluding to the story of Jesus welcoming the little children, she both demonstrates what kind of King Jesus is, and what kind of worship we ought to bring earlier Him. Christ, who loves the helpless and the innocent, asks for our simple, 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 like those of children. You could then sing this hymn every bit a response of assurance and dedication.
