Hosanna in the Highest
Author: John Howard Lathrop, 1880-1967 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #262 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Palm Sunday First Line: Hosanna in the highest! Lyrics: 1 Hosanna in the highest!
Our eager hearts acclaim
the prophet of the kingdom,
who bears Messiah’s name.
O bold, O foolish peasants,
to deem that he should reign!
The temple and the palace
look down in high disdain.
2 Long ages dim the message,
and custom has sufficed
for merchants and for princes
to bow, and own him Christ.
But when another spirit
arises from the plain,
the courts of power tremble,
and crucify again.
3 O first of many prophets
who come of simple folk
to free us from our bondage,
to break oppression’s yoke:
restore our minds to wisdom,
make known the life, the way
that leads through love and justice
unto the peace-crowned day. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

with grief and shame weighed down,
now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, thy only crown:
how art thou pale with anguish,
with sore abuse and scorn!
How does that visage languish
which once was bright as morn!
2 What language shall I borrow
to thank thee, dearest friend,
for this thy dying sorrow,
thy pity without end?
Let me be thine forever.
And, should I fainting be,
oh, let me never, never
outlive my love to thee. Languages: English Tune Title: PASSION CHORALE

When Mary through the Garden Went
Author: Mary Coleridge, 1861-1907 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #267 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Easter Lyrics: 1 When Mary through the garden went,
there was no sound of any bird,
and yet, because the night was spent,
the little grasses lightly stirred,
the flowers awoke, the lilies heard.
2 When Mary through the garden went,
the dew lay still on flower and grass,
the waving palms above her sent
their fragrance out as she did pass.
No light upon their branches was.
3 When Mary through the garden went,
her eyes, for weeping long, were dim.
The grass beneath her footsteps bent,
the solemn lilies, white and slim,
these also stood and wept for him. Languages: English Tune Title: WAS GOTT THUT
When Mary through the Garden Went
