Hail Hosanna! David's Son

Who: This Advent hymn was written by B. Schmolke and translated both by Emanuel Cronenwett and Anna Hoppe, both Lutherans. Below is my attempt to harmonize the two in the best possible hymn.
Note: A mien is one's facial expression and was a shortening of the word "demeanor." In stanza 3, spoils has two syllables.
Tune: I believe the associated melody is MEINEM JESUM, LASS ICH NICHT or "Jesus Sinners Doth Receive."

Hail Hosanna! David's Son

Comes to Zion, Come adore Him;

Make for Him an Honor throne;

Raise a thousand arches o'er Him.

Strew the palms His hallowed way.

To His Name due honor pay.

Hail Hosanna! Come, dear Lord;

Come, Thy Zion longs to meet Thee!

All made ready by Thy Word,

Thy redeemed with glee now greet Thee.

At Thy feet we long to bow,

Enter, welcome Savior, now.

Hail Hosanna! Prince of Peace,

Mighty Hero, King victorious!

Thou Who bad'st the battle cease,

Now hast brought us spoils-- glorious.

Lord, Thy justice shall endure,

For Thy realm alone stands sure.

Hail Hosanna! Precious Guest,

Thou hast chosen us forever

Members of Thy kingdom blest.

Let it be our heart's endeavor

To bow down before Thy throne,

Rule in us and rule alone!

Hail Hosanna! Nazarene,

For Your meekness we adore Thee.

Though a servant's humble mien

Would conceal Thine inner glory,

Zion doth still know and own

Thee as God's and David's Son.

Hail Hosanna! Help, good Lord;

Grant us love and grace, we pray Thee.

May we all with one accord

With an upright heart obey Thee.

Thou wilt ev'ry one receive

Who do hear Thee and believe.

Hail Hosanna! Near and far!

Haste, O Blest One, haste to enter!

Oh, delay not, Morning Star:

All our hopes in Thee are centered!

Hail Hosanna! Thou art come!

Sing Hosanna, Christendom!
