Call to Worship
Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion!
Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem!
Lo, your King comes to you;
Triumphant and victorious is He,
Humble and riding on a donkey,
On a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Zechariah 9:9
Hosanna
Praise is rising, eyes are turning to You
We turn to You
Hope is stirring,
hearts are yearning for you
We long for you
’Cause when we see You,
we find strength to face the day
In your presence all our fears are
washed away, washed away
Hosanna, hosanna
You are God Who saves us
Worthy of all our praises;
Hosanna, hosanna
come have Your way among us
We welcome You here, Lord Jesus
Hear the sound of hearts returning to You
We turn to You
In Your kingdom broken lives
are made new
You make us new
Hosanna, Loud Hosanna
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
From Olivet they followed
’Mid an exultant crowd
The victor palm branch waving
And chanting clear and loud
The Lord of earth and heaven
Rode on in lowly state
Nor scorned that little children
Should on His bidding wait
“Hosanna in the highest!”
That ancient song we sing
For Christ is our Redeemer
The Lord of heav’n, our King
O may we ever praise Him
With heart and life and voice
And in His blissful presence
Eternally rejoice
All Glory, Laud and Honor
All glory, laud and honor
To Thee, Redeemer, King,
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring:
Thou art the King of Israel,
Thou David’s royal Son,
Who in the Lord’s name comest,
The King and blessed One!
The company of angels
Are praising Thee on high,
And mortal men and all things
Created make reply:
The people of Jerusalem
With palms before Thee went:
Our praise and prayer and anthems
Before Thee we present.
To Thee, before Thy suff’ring,
They sang their hymns of praise;
To Thee, now high exalted,
Our melody we raise:
Thou didst accept their praises
Accept the praise we bring,
Who in all good delightest,
Thou good and gracious King!
Christ Our Hope in Life and Death
What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to him belong
Who holds our days within his hand?
What comes, apart from his command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good
Where is his grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh?
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ
Unto the grave, what shall we sing?
“Christ, he lives! Christ, he lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with him
There we will rise to meet the Lord
Then sin and death will be destroyed
And we will feast in endless joy
When Christ is ours forevermore
Rejoice the Lord Is King
Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph evermore
Lift up your heart
Lift up your voice!
Rejoice again
I say rejoice!
Jesus, the Savior, reigns
The God of truth and love
When He had purged our stains
He took His seat above
His kingdom cannot fail
He rules o’er earth and heav’n
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus giv’n
Rejoice in glorious hope!
The Lord, our judge, shall come
And take His servants up
To their eternal home
See What A Morning
See, what a morning, gloriously bright
with the dawning of hope in Jerusalem
folded the grave clothes, tomb filled with light
as the angels announce Christ is risen!
See God’s salvation plan, wrought in love,
borne in pain, paid in sacrifice,
fulfilled in Christ, the Man,
for He lives: Christ is risen from the dead
See Mary weeping, “Where is he Laid”?
As in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb;
Hears a voice speaking, calling her name;
It’s the Master, the Lord raised to life again!
The voice that spans the years,
Speaking life, stirring hope, bringing peace to us,
Will sound till he appears,
For He lives, Christ is risen from the dead!
One with the Father, Ancient of Days,
Through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty
Honour and blessing, glory and praise
To the King crowned with power and authority!
And we are raised with Him,
Death is dead, love has won, Christ has conquered;
And we shall reign with Him
For He lives, Christ is risen from the dead!
Blessing
May the God who sent His Son so that we could be adopted as God’s own children, send His Spirit into your hearts—especially in this week of remembrance and renewal—and equip you to live as God’s own children, dealy loved and called to serve a needy world.
