Franklin by Timothy Swan — Lyrics
1. Hosanna to Jesus on high!
Another is entered his rest,
Another is ’scaped to the sky,
And lodged in Immanuel’s breast:
The soul of our sister is gone
To heighten the triumph above,
Exalted to Jesus’s throne,
And clasped in the arms of his love.

About Franklin
Timothy Swan's Franklin is a sacred anthem for SATB choir, setting English words that express profound spiritual jubilation. The text paints a vivid picture of a soul ascending to heaven, finding eternal rest and embrace in the love of Jesus. It describes the overwhelming rapture experienced by the blessed in the divine presence, where Jesus' glory illuminates the heavenly realm and his servants are overcome by his ineffable blessing. This work offers a powerful musical setting for a text of ecstatic devotion and triumph, celebrating the soul's ultimate homecoming.
