Tune: St Theodulph
('All glory, laud, and honour')
***********
Chorus
All glory to the Saviour
All praises to the King
On humble colt He rides now
To Him creation sings
He rides on humble donkey
And did in meekness mount
Now we again His worthies
Paschal Mystery recount - Chorus
He rides forth into [Jeru]Salem
The city, name of peace
To bring his great salvation
His honours never cease - Chorus
Tell to daughters of Zion
Prophecy fulfilled thus
Your king on lowly beast comes
Brings salvation to us - Chorus
Crowds gathered by the wayside
To Him they homage give
Palm branches waved before Him
They trust in Him and live - Chorus
Their garments spread before Him
Along the royal way
And this their joyful anthem
'Hosanna' they sing, say - Chorus
So as they their possessions
Along the road did give
Help us service offer you
That we may truly live - Chorus
'Save now Lord' that their tune sweet
Procession marches on
The Lord will then His life lay
Down for them, Holy One - Chorus
Come process in this victory
O'er sin, death, gloom's dark night
For 'tis all in the Son sure
He is the world's true Light - Chorus
Eternal King now living
Triumphant o'er the grave
Come to our hearts, bide now
And stay, us fully save - Chorus
'Blesséd He be, the one who
Comes in the Lord's name true'
Their shouts, their songs, rejoicing
Praises to Him anew - Chorus
Though later then their pleading
Is 'Crucify' and die
Yet He on cross the Victor
Given the name most high - Chorus
Our suffering Saviour dying
There see upon the tree
Now we sing to Him and praise
He redeemed you and me - Chorus
Lord of Lords reigning on high
On us favours bestow
That all the world confess you
And all people you know - Chorus
For Easter message fades not
Christ died and rose again
Will return for His own soon
Unending glories then - Chorus

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem on Palm Sunday theme. This is bit different to my usual AABB format, as it's ABCB. A joining of two poems, with verses and chorus both in 7.6.7.6. I'm sure it's Eaater in a week's time! lol.

In the advent of autumnal receding the paschal mystery waxes even more so mysterious! 🌴🌿🍁🎄🥚🐇
Thanks CB. You seen that Paschal Moon? - nope, not until about March/April it appears!
Yup, my high days are being swapped around 🙈
So far, so good.
isn't reference to certain sacred days too early in the year a bit like breaking a mirror .. just asking for a friend ..
Thanks N. Dunno! Is it the season for palm leaves? KP has broken all her mirrors, first time she looked in each one of about 500 of them - so as to reflect 'me. me, me'! heehee.
Beautifully penned dear friend, no matter when. We can learn much from a humble Jesus.
Thanks B. Ohh, I dunno what day it is, nor year, nor CENTURY! lol.
Join the club my friend!
Good one Orchi but never heard of Plam Sunday.

Thanks Gold. Oops, typo! maybe Plum Sunday? lol.
