Lent // Week 6 // Mar. 24-30

Hosanna, loud hosanna the little children sang;

through pillared court and temple the lovely anthem rang.

To Jesus, who had blessed them, close folded to his breast,

the children sang their praises, the simplest and the best

"Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song we sing,

for Christ is our Redeemer, let our loud hosannas ring.

From Olivet they followed amid an exultant crowd,

the victory palm branch waving, and chanting clear and loud.

"Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song we sing,

for Christ is our Redeemer, let our loud hosannas ring.

"Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song we sing,

for Christ is our Redeemer, let our loud hosannas ring.

Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress;

my eye wastes away from grief, O LORD, my soul and body also,

For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing;

my strength fails because of my misery, and my bones waste away.

I have passed out of mind like one who is dead

I have become like a broken vessel.

But I trust in you, O LORD; I trust in you, O LORD;

But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, "You are my God." "You are my God."

Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love.

Let your face shine upon your servant; save me
