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
Matthew 21:1-11, SB. A most special time of year for Christians. Thanks for this one G.P.D.!
Memories of childhood - apart from my Sunday School attendance book filled with coloured stamps, this time of year gave me a small cross made, almost origami like out of a palm frond.
Thank you D.
Good one Orchi on this day.
Andy
Thank you Gold.
Beautiful, Orchi! Happy gluggy Week.
😤
Now...Popeye...this is not the time to glug. You are supposed to be fasting!
Sorry about that mate. He's really incorrigble! That aside, and in all seriousness, well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you T.
Popeye sings a version relating to himself. The chorus starts: All glugging, glug, and glugging! Now he's ruined the hymn. lol.
great work - keep it up
Thank you N.
