Chorus

Our King, He rides a donkey

Enters triumphantly

Into Jerusalem, see

In lowly majesty

 

He sent two disciples, they

Found a donkey that day

At His word, owner released

Creature to King of Peace - Chorus

 

Not riding on a war-horse

But meekly on His course

Did ride, crowd palm branches waved

Their garments His way paved - Chorus

 

And then upon arrival

At Jerusalem all

Rejoiced, praised God, exulting

For Christ\'s good works, each thing - Chorus

 

Said, Blessed be the King, comes He

In the Lord\'s name, so be

Peace in heaven, and glory

In the highest now be - Chorus

 

Some Pharisees they displeased

At this praise, wished it ceased

But Jesus said, Without doubt

If this stops, stones cry out - Chorus
