that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the<br />

highest.&quot;<br />

Hosanna means &quot;Save we pray&quot; much like our<br />

expression, God save the King, or the French Vive<br />

of the Lord refers to Jesus Christ, who is in the full<br />

sense of the word blessed, for He is the source of every<br />

blessing.<br />

The words Blessed is He who cometh refer directly<br />

seems to give this interpretation in her rubric which<br />

prescribes these words to be sung by the choir after<br />

the Consecration.
