Loud Hosanna! Christ is Risen!


Loud Hosanna! Christ is Risen!
Now behold your glorious King!
Satan conquered, sin forgiven,
Death, behold, where is your sting?
Christ--victorious--rules forever.
Listen, He calls; go to Him.
He sweetly woos in endless mercy
"I will free your soul from sin!"

Loud Hosanna! Christ is Risen!
See His nail-marked hands and feet.
As He speaks He looks upon you
Will you will your Savior meet?
Look, His arms are open freely;
Flee to Him without delay!
He has opened heaven’s treasures,
Shown to us the only way!

Loud Hosanna! Christ in Risen!
Silence greets the empty tomb.
Will you answer His strong urging
As He cries out, “There is room!”
Speak! He listens every moment.
Call to Him all tempest tossed.
He will hearken to your pleading
He will guide you to His cross.

Loud Hosanna! Christ is Risen!
Doubters see the empty grave.
It is true; why do you tremble?
Trust in Him who came to save!
Drink each holy proven chapter;
Taste and see the Lord is good!
Come and sit and sup with Jesus;
Come and savor every word.

Loud Hosanna! Christ is Risen!
He has triumphed as He said!
“It is finished!” still it echoes
Christ has risen from the dead!
Feel the presence of the Savior.
Will you give Him every part?
Lamb of Calvary, come and make me
Closer, nearer, to Your heart!
