Text Translation	GLORIFICATION (CELESTIAL SPRING) F. Melius Christiansen Hosanna, a new Hosanna, within is ringing, New glory bringing to God on high Who has exalted this lowly mortal To heaven’s portal beyond the sky. Hosanna, a new Hosanna all life embraces, While growing praises to God arise; Soon my spirit shall sing, Shall sing victorious, With him, the glorious, in paradise. A new Hosanna shall arise. A new Hosanna now is ringing, and my heart is singing: Hallelujah. —Oscar R. Overby, alt.
