Palms Procession

Tune: St Theodulph

(\'All glory, laud, and honour\')

Matthew 21 v.1-11 parts

*********

Chorus

See, Jesus rides a donkey

In great humility

The procession makes its way

Unto [Jeru]Salem that day

 

All this was done, that it might

Be viewed unto the sight

Fulfilling of prophecy

Zechariah\'s it be - Chorus

 

It is, Tell Zion\'s daughter

That the Lord has sought her

Her king comes unto her, meek

Lowly, her love does seek - Chorus

 

He sitting on a donkey

Rides on through the crowd free

And donkey\'s colt, company

That day in history - Chorus

 

Great multitudes spread garments

In the way, they did sense

Their Lord and their King\'s presence

As He journeyed on thence - Chorus

 

Some cut down branches from palms

Waved them, as giving alms

Or spread them in the road there

In worship they did share - Chorus

 

They all did cry, Hosanna* (*\'Save now\')

To son of David sure

Blessed He that comes in the name

Of the Lord, Christ the same - Chorus

 

Hosanna in the highest

Thus their lips they confessed

Jesus the prophet is He

One from Nazareth, see - Chorus
