Risen

Hosanna

Risen Lord you are
Hosanna

Today — triumphant song
Soon to weeping turn
Palm frond trampled, so soon forgotten

Chants of worship
To silence
Fall

To darkness the victory
It seemed

But not for long
We, looking back, know
That stone will roll
A new day dawn

Risen Lord you are
Hosanna

Walk through history
Time long ago
Walk, dusty streets, upon
We hear the echo
— — — Hosanna

The blood to run
Woe to come
Washing us even then
White as snow

We mourn
Yet not without joy
For we know

The Risen Lord, Christ, you are
Hosanna
