New Hymn for Palm Sunday, April 1st

Filled With Excitement

1.
Filled with excitement, all the happy throng
spread cloaks and branches on the city streets.

There in the distance they begin to see
riding on a donkey, comes the Son of God.

Refrain
From every corner a thousand voices sing praises to him who comes in the name of God
With one great shout of acclamation loud triumphant songs break forth.
Hosanna Hosanna to the King
Hosanna Hosanna to the King.

2.
As in that entrance to Jerusalem
We sing Hosannas to the Christ, our King
To the living Saviour who still calls today
Asking us to follow him with love and faith.

Refrain
