Hosanna 

Hosanna to the King who rides upon a gentle beast,

Hosanna to the King who calls the sinner to his feast,

Hosanna to the King who says the greatest shall be least.

Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to the King!

Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to the King!

Hosanna to the King who wears a crown of twisted thorn,

Hosanna to the King whose royal robe is stained and torn,

Hosanna to the King whose cruel death means hope re-born.

            Hosanna…

Hosanna to the King who says the truth will make us free

But knows the crowd that sings his praise will send him to the tree;

Who knows our struggle to be true, our courage that will flee,

Yet still will claim us for his own, forgiven, loved and free.

                                                                                                Forgiven, loved and free!

Hosanna to our Jesus: Saviour, Servant, Lord and King.

Hosanna from our lips and lives, our hearts and hands we bring,

For if we now were silent then the stones would surely sing!

            Hosanna…
