Then the three join in a sublime trio, and for the last time chant together the old Lutheran psalm, and await their fate amid the triumphant harpings that sound from the orchestra and the hosanna they sing to its accompaniment.
L'homme primigene! Nebulous obscurity occupies space. THE GRAMOPHONE: Jerusalem! Open your gates and sing Hosanna... A white star fills from it, proclaiming the consummation of all things and second coming of Elijah. Perspiring in a loose lawn surplice with funnel sleeves he is seen, vergerfaced, above a rostrum about which the banner of old glory is draped.
Surely that must touch the Sacred Heart! Will not His Mother say one word? "Hosanna! Hosanna au Fils de David!" "Hosanna!" cried the priest. "Hosanna!" cried the people. "Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!..." One articulate roar of disappointed praise, and then Tantum ergo Sacramentum! rose in its solemnity. When Benediction was over, I went back to the Bureau; but there was little to be seen there.
But the diurnal is weary of the arm of flesh, and now begins an hosanna to Cromwell; one that hath beat up his drums clean through the Old Testament; you may learn the genealogy of our Saviour by the names in his regiment; the muster-master uses no other list but the first chapter of Matthew.
I have been the more plain and simple in my writing, because the sin against the Holy Ghost is in these days more common than formerly, and the way unto it more beautified with color and pretence of truth I may say of the way to this sin, it is, as was once the way to Jerusalem, strewed with boughs and branches, and by some there is cried a kind of Hosanna to them that are treading these steps to hell.
All prisoners yes, they were all taken to the burg of the Frankish count, while Bishop Cautin, carrying with him his gold and silver vases, regained Clermont followed by a pious crowd of slaves who cried on his passage: "Glory to our holy bishop! Glory to the blessed Cautin! Hosanna!" The burg of Count Neroweg is situated in the center of a space once occupied by a fortified Roman camp.
The notable thing in connection with the last days of Jesus' life is the joint opposition of Sadducean priests and Pharisaic scribes. That the populace easily changed their cry from "hosanna" to "crucify him" is not surprising.
Others reared bare, scathed peaks above slopes that were shaggy with timber. And out in front lay the wondrous lake, a shield of deepest glittering turquois held to the dull, gray breast of the valley. Again and again they cried out, "Hosanna to God and the Lamb!" and many of the bearded host shed tears, for the hardships of the way had weakened them.
"Jesu! heal our sick. . . . Jesu! grant that we may see may hear may walk. . . . Thou art the Resurrection and the Life. . . . Lord! I believe; help Thou mine unbelief." Then with an overwhelming triumph: "Hosanna to the Son of David! Hosanna, Hosanna!" Then again, soft and rumbling: "O Mary, conceived without sin, hear us who have recourse to thee."
And though earthly flowers may perish There are buds His hand will cherish And the things unseen Eternal these can never pass away; Where the angels shout Hosanna, Where the ground is dewed with manna, These remain and these await us in the homes of heaven for ay!"
