Jerusalem Journey

orchidee



Tune: St Theodulph

('All glory, laud, and honour')

Matthew 21 v.4-11 parts

*********

Chorus

Multitudes cry 'Hosanna'

Jerusalem does stir

'Blessed He who comes in the name

Of the Lord,' worthy fame

 

Jesus makes lowly entry

Into city, so be

He rides upon a donkey

Her colt follows, all see - Chorus

 

Tell people of Sion, Your

King comes unto you sure

Riding on humble creature

This scene it does feature - Chorus

 

People they their garments spread

On road that goes ahead

And some place palm branches on

Road, or wave to God's Son - Chorus

 

'Hosanna in the Highest'

'Save now, Lord,' they confessed

Jesus' triumph procession

He Saviour, Holy One - Chorus

    Very appropriate but more this one sings out in majesty and glory. A most lovely hymn Orchi

      Thanks SB. One of my few magnus opuses (large works) is on the same hymn tune, written over two Easter seasons, going on for 15 verses with Chorus each time But St Bernard of old wrote some hymns going on for up to 30 verses x 4 lines each verse!

      • sorenbarrett

        Not religious but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a wonderful hymn and this is very nice

                Thank you T. Got a palm tree in your garden? Or even - got a garden?!

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  Neither. LOL! But I do tend to vacation in such places with such trees and gardens! You are most welcome, my friend!

                    Thank you Gold.

                  • Tristan Robert Lange

                    Okay, I have to revisit this, and I am glad I did I never ended up "liking" or "faving" and I intended to do both! LOL! But, also to say this: St. Theodulph. Now that is a name you don't hear every day. Better than St. Theo-dolt, for sure. Lord, forgive me for that one! 🤣

                    • orchidee

                      Thank you T. It can be spelt St Theodolf also - died about 820AD, so the hymn is over 1,000 years old. I forget sometimes the original Psalms are now over 3,000 years old. You know St Fred? Nope - me neither. lol.

                      • Tristan Robert Lange

                        Lol! Not yet! LOL! Though, I'd certainly put up Fred Rogers up for Sainthood...but he was Presbyterian and they don't do saints. LOL! It happens.
