Sunday, the shout of hosannas,
The triumph of palms in Jerusalem.

Friday, the cross on Golgotha,
The mocking of thorns in a diadem.

Highest to lowest, in only a five days' span;
Hailed Son of God, and made the derision of man.

Sunday again, and the grave, and the seal strangely broken,
And those who had doubted remembering words he had spoken.
