00:11Hosanna, loud Hosanna, the little children sang
00:18Through pillar, court, and temple, the lovely anthem rang
00:25To Jesus who had blessed them, close folded to his breast
00:32The children sang their praises, the simplest and the best
00:45From all of that they followed, in an exultant crowd
00:53The victor, palm branch waving, enchanting clear and loud
01:00The Lord of men and angels, grow on in lonely space
01:08Nor scorn that little children, should on his bidding wait
01:28Hosanna in the highest, that ancient song we sing
01:35For Christ is our Redeemer, the Lord of heaven, our King
01:42Oh may we ever praise Him, with heart and life and voice
01:50And in His blissful presence, eternally rejoice
01:58And in His blissful presence, eternally rejoice
02:11Aw, that was great kids, good job
02:14Hi kids, I'm Bob the Tomato
02:27And I'm Larry the Cucumber
02:28Welcome to Sunday School on this beautiful Easter morning
02:31And a special welcome to those of you who are joining us for the first time
02:35Which seems to be a lot of you
02:39The song we just sang was called Hosanna, loud Hosanna
02:43It reminds us of the song the people of Jerusalem sang
02:46When Jesus rode a donkey into town that first Palm Sunday
02:50Palm Sunday was last week, Bob
02:52I know Larry, I'm trying to teach these kids the Easter story
02:55So I need to start at the beginning
02:57But, wouldn't the beginning be Christmas?
02:59Well, yes, but
03:01Speaking of Christmas, we haven't seen this many kids at Sunday school since Christmas Eve
03:05Isn't that great?
03:07Great?
03:07Well, yes, but I have no idea how I'm going to teach all these kids the Easter story
03:12Don't worry Bob, I'm here to be your assistant Sunday school teacher
03:17And if worse comes to worse, I can always tell the sad story
03:28Now, Junior, I'll pick you up after the service
03:31You try to have a good day, okay?
03:34Okay, Mom
03:35Hey, Junior, what's the matter?
03:37Hi, Annie
03:38My dad's been out of town and I was just hoping he'd be back for Easter Sunday
03:42And he didn't make it, huh?
03:44Nope
03:45This is my first Easter without him around
03:47That's too bad, Junior
03:49But Sunday school's going to be great
03:51Bob's going to teach us all the Easter story
03:53Well, that's the plan, Annie
03:56But with all these extra kids, I'm really going to need more help
04:00Help?
04:01Did I hear someone say help?
04:03Well, yes, Archie, but
04:05Wonderful!
04:06I've prepared a musical lecture on Easter traditions around the world
04:10Uh, that's really, uh, nice of you, Archie
04:13But really, I think
04:14Brilliant!
04:15Larry, will you put on this CD?

04:46Let me take you on a journey round the world
04:49Oh, yes, Archie
04:56Bonfires lit in Germany
04:59Igniteing last year's Christmas tree
05:02Lighting up the east of the sky
05:04As they tell the night goodbye
05:05Goodbye!

05:36No Easter hair for summer fact

05:42Instead, the bilby brings the loot, his friends call him a bandicoot.

06:15We English love our pancake race.
06:19Stir the syrup and take cheese.
06:23Flip the pancakes as you run, don't fall down, you spoil the fun.
06:27In the states, we are my favorite things.

06:54All right, now, a quick review.
06:57I'll go first.
06:59Liquid Christmas tree baskets, liquid tea, pancakes to raise candies to taste.
07:02I like candy's candy, candy's candy, candy's candy, candy's candy.
07:06I think you understand!
07:08Um, what about this and cow?
07:11Oh, Larry!
07:36Oh, wonderful! Here's a notebook. You can do more at home.
07:39That was fascinating, Archie.
07:42Well, thank you, laddie.
07:44But you did forget about the sad story of Easter, pal.
07:47What did you think, Bob?
07:49Well, actually, I ducked out to get some more help.
07:53More help? But I have six more tracks prepared.
07:56That's great, Archie.
07:58Well, kids, look who I found. Madam Blueberry.
08:02And she's going to lead us in a special song.
08:04Hi, Madam Blueberry.
08:06Hi, kids.
08:07As we celebrate Easter this morning,
08:09let's remember the most exciting thing about the Easter story.
08:13That Jesus rose and is alive.
08:34Christ the Lord, He's risen today.
08:40Alleluia.
08:42Sons of men and angels say.
08:48Alleluia.
08:49Praise your joys and triumphs high.
08:56Alleluia.
08:57Sing ye heavens and earth reply.
09:03Alleluia.
09:09Alleluia.
09:11We live again, our glorious King.
09:17Alleluia.
09:19Where all death is now thy sting, Alleluia.
09:27Once he died, our souls to sing, Alleluia.
09:35Where thy victory obeyed, Alleluia.
09:49Hail the Lord of earth and heaven, Alleluia.
09:57Praise to thee, my hope be.
