A moment later, though he held no notes to follow, his beautiful voice rang out loud and clear and in full harmony with the other singers. When the service was over, there was a crowd lingering in the aisles, praising and admiring the beautiful picture and the new carol; but Johanson was soon alone in the poorhouse, with "Hosanna! hosanna!" in his heart.
"My post is here where the sufferers are," the priest said simply, and the women said no more, but looked at their guest in reverent admiration. He turned to the nun with the wafers. "Sister Marthe," he said, "the messenger will say Fiat Voluntas in answer to the word Hosanna." "There is some one on the stairs!" cried the other nun, opening a hiding-place contrived in the roof.
"Hosanna to the son of David: blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest". Matt. The sufferings and death of Jesus Christ are the mysteries which the catholic church commemorates during holy week.
I will sing the God of the two mighty wings. Hosanna to life! Hosanna to death! "Christofori faciem die quacunque tueris, Illa nempe die non morte mala morieris." Saint Christophe has crossed the river. All night long he has marched against the stream. Like a rock his huge-limbed body stands above the water. On his shoulders is the Child, frail and heavy.
Many of those now shrieking 'Crucify Him! had shouted 'Hosanna! a day or two before till they were hoarse. The populace was guilty of fickleness, blindness, rashness, too easy credence of the crafty calumnies of the rulers.

And how glorious will be the awakening when such virginity as is now honoured by the Church is held in derision, when fruitfulness is again recognised as a virtue, amidst the hosanna of all the freed forces of nature man's desires which will be honoured, his passions which will be utilised, his labour which will be exalted, whilst life is loved and ever and ever creates love afresh!
If you could realize out of what a pit you have been dug, to what height you are to be raised, and to what glory you are destined, you would spring to your feet with "Hosanna!" In 1808 there was a meeting of the emperors of France and Russia at Erfurt. There were distinguished men there also from other lands.
Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the Highest." And do you think He came, the true and perfect King, only to go away again and leave this world as it was before, without a law, a ruler, a heavenly kingdom? God forbid! Jesus is the same yesterday, to- day, and for ever.
And the people, frantic with ardour and desire, answered him in a voice of thunder: "Ayez pitié de nous! ayez pitié de nous!" And now up the steps came the grave group to where Jesus would at least bless His own, though He would not heal them; and the priest in the midst, with one last cry, gave glory to Him who must be served through whatever misery: "Hosanna! Hosanna au Fils de David!"
Then this flute broke its silence for the first time its first music was a hosanna to our great king." "From this time forth," said Frederick, "let no man dare to say that battles are in vain. The bloody field of Leuthen produced a flute from Quantz; and by Heaven, that is a greater rarity than the most complete victory in these warlike days!"
