Hosanna, O Anointed One, the promised one has come!
Our Jesus rides into the gates of great Jerusalem.
The fronds of palms we wave as He fulfills the Holy Word,
"O Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord."
Hosanna, O Anointed One, praise You for Lazarus!
You conquered death for one You loved; do so for all of us.
Messiah was foretold of old, to do as You have done,
So ride into Jerusalem and prove You are the One!
Hosanna, O Anointed One, Messiah, Lord-to-be!
Your miracles are powerful, Your glory all can see.
We may not understand your words, as we all shout and rave,
But all too soon we'll understand Your cross, Your death, Your grave.
