We Sang Our Glad Hosannas
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: John 20:1-18 Lyrics: We sang our glad Hosannas,and waved our branches high,but some were silent, frowning,as Jesus rode on by.They sought a royal Saviorbut did not understanda king could rule by loving,instead of by command.We heard an angry Jesusin Temple courts declare,"Be gone, you moneychangers!This is a house of prayer."Though many came for healingand stayed to hear his word,still others, hostile, plottedand thus his death assured.We served him at the tablewith wine, unleavened bread."The one who will betray menow eats with me," he said.His friends would not believe him,but one by one that night,as soldiers came to take him,they scurried out of sight.We saw a suffering Jesusalone, without a friend,and heard the voices shoutingabuse until the end.We wept as we stood watchingLove's light grow dim and die,and cried, "Why did this happen?God, tell us, tell us why!"We buried him, not knowingthat on the third day morn.a risen Christ would greet usand hope would be reborn.Though evil had extinguishedthe life that burned so bright,the love of God would triumphlike dawn that ends the night.

Woman, Weeping in the Garden
Author: Dan Damon Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: John 20:1-18 Lyrics: 1 Woman, weeping in the garden,
who has pushed the stone aside?
Who has taken Jesus' body;
Jesus Christ, the crucified?
2 Woman, waiting in the garden,
after men have come and gone;
after angels give their witness,
silently you watch the dawn.
3 Woman, walking in the garden,
Jesus takes you by surprise;
when the gardener calls you, "Mary!"
faith and joy meet in your eyes.
4 Woman, weeping in the garden,
weep for joy, for you have seen
Jesus, the Messiah, risen;
Christ, of whom the prophets dream.
5 Woman, dancing from the garden,
find the others and proclaim
Christ is risen as he promised;
tell the world he knew your name! Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Resurrection and Exaltation; Christian Year: Easter; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Resurrection; Women Used With Tune: KAKIS

Great ring of light, true circle with no ending
Author: Colin Alexander Gibson (b. 1933) Meter: 12.12.12 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: John 20:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Great ring of light, true circle with no ending;
clear beam so bright, whose purpose knows no bending;
O Word of God, in darkness always shining out.
2 A man who cried, up on a cross at Calvary;
for him who died, an empty tomb, a mystery;
O risen Christ, all pain and loss transcending.
3 Immortal fire of love forever yearning;
flame of desire for our salvation burning;
Spirit divine, our friend, and present comforter.
4 The light shines still, the eternal Word has spoken;
on Calvary's hill the power of death is broken;
and I receive the life, the joy, the loving. Topics: Christ Risen Reign and Priesthood; God in Trinity; Holy Spirit name and images for; Jesus Word of God; Light; Word of God Used With Tune: HALLEY

thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine:
now hear me when I pray;
take all my guilt away;
oh let me from this day
be wholly thine.
2 May thy rich grace impart
strength to my fainting heart;
my zeal inspire;
as thou hast died for me,
oh may my love to thee
pure, warm and changeless be,
a living fire.
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide;
bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow's tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
when death's cold sullen stream
shall o'er me roll,
blest Saviour, then, in love,
fear and distrust remove;
oh bear me safe above,
a ransomed soul. Topics: Death; Eternal Life; Fire / Flame; Gratitude; Jesus Christ Lamb of God; One Life in Christ Faith; Repentance Used With Tune: OLIVET
