Refrain

All glory, laud and honor,
To Thee, Redeemer, King,
To Whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.

Thou art the King of Israel,
Thou David’s royal Son,
Who in the Lord’s Name comest,
The King and Blessèd One.

Refrain

The company of angels
Are praising Thee on High,
And mortal men and all things
Created make reply.

Refrain

The people of the Hebrews
With palms before Thee went;
Our prayer and praise and anthems
Before Thee we present.

Refrain

To Thee, before Thy passion,
They sang their hymns of praise;
To Thee, now high exalted,
Our melody we raise.

Refrain

Thou didst accept their praises;
Accept the prayers we bring,
Who in all good delightest,
Thou good and gracious King.

Refrain


The Triumphal Entry, by Ernst Deger

Neale not­ed “ano­ther verse was usu­al­ly sung un­til the 17th Cen­tu­ry, at the quaint­ness of which we can scarce­ly avoid a smile”:

Be Thou, O Lord, the Rider,
And we the little ass,
That to God’s holy city
Together we may pass.
