[Verse 1]
Around our way the palm trees and the flowers
Send forth their perfume on our festal day
Humanity shall everywhere abound
For light to all the world is given again
All nations sing and chant His praise
Now let your voices join with ours and anthems raise
Hosanna! Praise be to God!
Blessed is He who comes bringing salvation!
[Verse 2]
His voice is heard, and nations at the sound
Have now regained that freedom sought in vain
Humanity shall everywhere abound
For light to all the world is given again
All nations sing and chant His praise
Now let your voices join with ours and anthems raise
Hosanna! Praise be to God!
Blessed is He who comes bringing salvation!
Salvation!
[Outro: Mayor Fiorello La Guardia]
Thank you. Wasn't that beautiful?
