155 - The Liturgy of the Palms: Processional
Refrain:
All glory, laud and honor
to thee, Redeemer, King!
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
1. Thou art the King of Israel,
thou David’s royal Son,
who in the Lord’s Name comest,
the King and Blessed One. Refrain
2. The company of angels
is praising thee on high;
and we with all creation
in chorus make reply. Refrain
3. The people of the Hebrews
with palms before thee went;
our praise and prayers and anthems
before thee we present. Refrain
4. To thee before thy passion
they sang their hymns of praise:
to thee, now high exalted,
our melody we raise. Refrain
5. Thou didst accept their praises;
accept the prayers we bring,
who in all good delightest,
thou good and gracious King. Refrain
