Hosannas and glad psalms through streets and markets rang. Then "Crucify!" is all their breath, for blood and death they thirst and cry; for blood and death they thirst and cry. 4 What has my Sovereign done? What makes this rage and spite? Christ gave new strength to run, restored the gift of sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these themselves displease, and 'gainst Christ rise; themselves displease, and 'gainst Christ rise. 5 I sing my plain belief, one song my heart out-pours: never was pain nor grief, never was love like yours. This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend; I all my days could gladly spend.
