Chorus

All glory to the Saviour

All praises to the King

On humble colt He rides now

To Him creation sings

 

1. He rides on humble donkey

And did in meekness mount

Now we again His worthies

Paschal Mystery recount - Chorus

 

2. He rides forth into [Jeru]Salem

The city, name of peace

To bring His great salvation

His honours never cease - Chorus

 

3. Tell to daughter of Zion

Prophecy fulfilled thus

Your King on lowly beast comes

Brings salvation to us - Chorus

 

4. Crowds gathered by the waysides

To Him they homage give

Palm branches waved before Him

They trust in Him and live - Chorus

 

5. Their garments spread before Him

Along the royal way

And this their joyful anthem

\'Hosanna\', [they] sing and say - Chorus

 

6. So as they their possessions

Along the road did give

Help us service you offer

That we may truly live - Chorus

 

7. \'Save now Lord\', that their tune sweet

Procession marches on

The Lord will then His life lay

Down for them, Holy One - Chorus

 

8. Come process in His victory

O\'er sin, death, gloom\'s dark night

For \'tis all in the Son sure

He is the world\'s true light - Chorus

 

9. Eternal King now living

Triumphant o\'er the grave

Come to our hearts, abide now

And stay, us fully save - Chorus

 

10. \'Blesséd be the one who

Comes in the Lord\'s name true\'

Their shouts, their songs, rejoicing

Praises to Him anew - Chorus

 

11. Though later then their pleading

Is \'Crucify\' and die

Yet He on cross the Victor

Given the name most high - Chorus

 

12. Our suffering Saviour dying

There seen upon the tree

Now we sing to Him and praise

He redeemed you and me - Chorus

 

13. Lord of Lords reigning on high

On us favours bestow

That all the world confess you

And all peoples you know - Chorus

 

14.  For Easter message fades not

Christ died and rose again

Will return for His own soon

Unending glories then - Chorus
