Christ is risen! Shout hosanna! Celebrate this day of
days!
Christ is risen! Hush in wonder; all creation is
amazed.
In the desert all-surrounding, see, a spreading tree
has grown.
Healing leaves of grace abounding bring a taste of
love unknown.
2
Christ is risen! Raise your spirits from the caverns
of despair.
Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love
can do and dare.
Drink the wine of resurrection, not a servant, but a
friend.
Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall
never end.
3
Christ is risen! Earth and heaven nevermore shall be
the same.
Break the bread of new creation where the world is
still in pain.
Tell its grim, demonic chorus: “Christ is risen! Get
you gone!”
God the First and Last is with us. Sing hosanna
everyone!
