Chorus

Tell in Zion the people

Your king comes to you all

Meek, riding on a donkey

Humble procession be

 

Disciples, donkey and colt

Did fetch, the did not bolt

Special mission to carry

The Saviour, lowly He - Chorus

 

A great crowd there did gather

In rejoicing did share

Spread their garments in the way

That Jesus passed that day - Chorus

 

Palm branches waved, and the road

With them they too bestowed

\"Hosanna to David\'s son\"

\"Save now, Lord\", holy one - Chorus

 

\"Blessed He that comes in the name

Of the Lord\", they proclaim

\"Hosanna in the highest\"

Then so their lips confessed - Chorus

 

The children in the temple

Joined in the praises all

From mouths of babes and sucklings

God perfect praises brings - Chorus

 

Ride on, and bring salvation

To each, every nation

Your cross before your crown borne

Then resurrection morn - Chorus
