O Holy Child (Hosanna to the King)

Oh holy child, you’ve been made known
A thousand miles into the unknown
A light in the sky, for all mankind
You shined from the deep — dark of space
You shined in the deep — dark of our sin.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to the King
Oh holy light you’ve been made known
From Babylon, with the rising moon
Up to the king of Jerusalem
But not from the throne — of David’s Citadel
But not from a throne — but from a stable
O holy night, you’ve made been known
Where heavenly hosts, and shepherds roam
All to the wonder of his seemless light
You shined from the womb — of prophets long-foretold
You shined from the womb into the night.
Oh holy wrath, oh holy blood
Bethlehem’s cries and Rachel’s breath
Running from His righteous wounds
He came for the peace, of ancient Israel
He came for the peace, for favored men.
