Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna!

Christ is ris­en! Shout Ho­san­na!

Celebrate this day of days!

Christ is ris­en! Hush in won­der:

All cre­ation is am­azed.

In the de­sert all-sur­round­ing

See

a spread­ing tree has grown.

Healing leaves of grace ab­ound­ing

Bring a taste of love un­known.

Christ is ris­en! Raise your spir­its

From the ca­verns of des­pair.

Walk with glad­ness in the morn­ing.

See what love can do and dare.

Drink the wine of re­sur­rect­ion

Not a serv­ant

but a friend.

Jesus is our strong com­pan­ion.

Joy and peace shall nev­er end.

Christ is ris­en! Earth and Heav­en

Nevermore shall be the same.

Break the bread of new cre­ation

Where the world is still in pain.

Tell its grim

de­mon­ic chor­us:

Christ is ris­en! Get you gone!

God the First and Last is with us

Sing Ho­san­na

ev­ery­one!
