Fits 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
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

This'll give ya all enough time to process in to church, or wherever ya are processing! Nearly 30 stanzas, including the chorus each time!
Process? Process! We Methodist do not process we come into our Church and sin our hearts out as we would to this fine hymn. Thank you.
Erm, C of E and others might 'process' on Palm Sunday, and a few other times too maybe! That'll wear them out, by the time they've sung this lot! Oops change 'sin' typo?! Eekk!
never heard this one before,really enjoyed
