Tune: St Theodulph
('All glory, laud, and honour')
Matthew 21 v.4-11
********
Chorus
Behold, your King comes to you
In procession Him view
He rides upon a donkey
Enters city humbly
Zechariah's prophecy
Told of old comes to be
Behold, you people, your King
Comes to you, praises sing - Chorus
See Him, He meek and lowly
Pursues His way freely
Content to ride a donkey
In His humility - Chorus
A very great multitude
The triumph scene did view
Spread their garments in the way
And palm branches that day - Chorus
The peoples cried, Hosanna
Save us now, Lord, us hear
Blessed He that comes in the name
Of the Lord, Christ the same - Chorus
Hosanna in the highest
They sang, and they Him blessed
Jesus of Nazareth He
Their Saviour for to be - Chorus

A most wonderful poem for this time of year Orchi. I still wonder who that donkey belonged to. Did he get it from Aesop?
Thank you SB.
Most welcome Orchi
