Fits tune: Laus Deo
('Bright the vision that delighted')
Based on part of Matthew Chapter 21
********
Jesus rides on humble donkey
Here a fair procession see
Singing, shouting, loud Hosanna
Raising palms as love's banner
'Hosanna', 'Save now, Lord', they cry
Yet later they bid Him die
Through religion's cruel inciting
'Crucify', now voices ring
Tensions mounting, yet God's will done
Prayed in garden, only Son
Not my will but yours be done sure
Father-Son love evermore
Lowly beast transports the Saviour
See the whole city does stir
In Jerusalem, the place where
God's Temple situate[d] be
Grant our hearts may trust in you whole
Your praises, Saviour, extol
To keep Temple, your house of prayer
Den of thieves it cannot share
May we continue on daily
You our guide and helper be
Follow in your victory, lead us
If path smooth, rough, still us bless

I could not find words and music clip. Maybe it's OK, as the original hymn and words are of Isaiah's vision.
Good write.
Thanks G.
