This lyric for Holy Week, by the poet Margaret Cropper, is set in CWB to MORNING SONG.
It is admirably succinct.
1 The glory of our King was seen
when he came riding by,
and all the children waved and sang
‘Hosanna, King most high!’2 The glory of our King was seen
when, with his arms stretched wide
to show his love to everyone,
Jesus was crucified.3 The glory of our King was seen
on the first Easter day,
when Christ rose up, set free from death,
to love, to guide, to stay.
