Palm Sunday
On this day of great rejoicing,
Lord Jesus Christ, when we welcome
You as our King and Saviour,
we also walk in the shadow of Your cross.
Hosanna! We cry.
Blessed are You who come
in God’s name to save us.
Hosanna!
Strengthen our faith on this Palm Sunday
so that when the time comes
to carry the cross we might still
call out to You with heartfelt praise.
Give us the grace and the courage
To follow you this Holy Week
from death to resurrection,
from darkness to the fullness of light.
We need you,
Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour
Hosanna!
