The pilgrim psalm, a cry of pleading,

Hail the Lamb, soon bleeding.

Hosanna! Save us!

Blessed is he who has come.

On a virginal colt, to Jerusalem mounted,

costly redemption, carefully counted.

Palm branches flutter, royalty shown

to a King who stepped away from his throne.

Hosanna! Save us!

Blessed is he who has come.

The final week, a floodgate of teaching;

vested words for the souls he’s reaching.

To the task at hand, Christ ever obedient;

his enemies plotting his death expedient.

Hosanna! Save us!

Blessed is he who has come.

Bearing the cross, darkness impending;

Obscene with sin, Holiness offending.

“Sin is paid for!” exhaled in victory;

atonement impeding death’s thievery.

Hosanna! Save us!

Blessed is he who has come.

Third day dawns, morn’ most scandalous;

Truth foretold this act miraculous.

Empty tomb, a folded shroud;

proves immortality endowed.

Hosanna! Save us!

Blessed are you who have come.
