Hymn: #297 “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna” "Hosanna, loud hosanna," The little children sang; Thro' pillared court and temple The lovely anthem rang; To Jesus, who had blessed them Close folded to His breast, The children sang their praises, The simplest and the best.
From Olivet they followed 'Mid an exultant crowd, The victor palm branch waving And chanting clear and loud; The Lord of earth and heaven Rode on in lowly state, Nor scorned that little children Should on His bidding wait.<br>

Hymn: #297 “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna” "Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song we sing, For Christ is our Redeemer, The Lord of heav'n, our King; O may we ever praise Him With heart and life and voice, And in His blissful presence Eternally rejoice!<br>

By your mercy, You gave Your Son to this world. Due to our greed, we often give You little in return.<br>

Unison Prayer “Create in us a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within us. Do not cast us from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from us. Restore to us the joy of your salvation and grant us a willing spirit, to sustain us. Help us to love one another as you have loved us”.
