Hosanna in excelsis A C Bowden 01/18/2026 1:08 AM
The angels can hover and sing
Without even flapping a wing.
No human device
Is so clever and nice –
They're quite a miraculous thing.

Then humbly beg God for salvation.
For others, a prayer
Is a lightweight affair,
With clapping and hoots of elation.
