The opening

ADVENT SUNDAY.— No. I.

R. H.

HosANNA to the living Lord! Hosanna to the incarnate Word! To Christ, Creator, Saviour, King, Let earth, let heaven, Hosanna sing! Hosanna! Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

Hosanna, Lord! thine angels cry; Hosanna, Lord! thy saints reply; Above, beneath us, and around. The dead and living swell the sound; Hosanna! Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

Oh, Saviour! with protecting care, Return to this thy house of prayer! Assembled in thy sacred name. Where we thy parting promise claim! Hosanna! Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
