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
He rides on humble donkey
And did in meekness mount
Now we again His worthies
Paschal Mystery recount - Chorus
He rides forth into [Jeru]Salem
The city, name of peace
To bring His great salvation
His honours never cease - Chorus
Tell to daughters of Zion
Prophecy fulfilled thus
Your King on lowly beast comes
Brings salvation to us - Chorus
Crowds gathered by the wayside
To Him they homage give
Palm branches wave before Him
They trust in Him and live - Chorus
Their garments spread before Him
Along the royal way
And this their joyful anthem
'Hosanna' they sing, say - Chorus
So as they their possessions
Along the road did give
Help us service you offer
That we may truly live - Chorus
'Save now, Lord', that their tune sweet
Procession marches on
The Lord will then His life lay
Down for them, Holy One - Chorus
Come process in this victory
O'er sin, death, gloom's dark night
For 'tis all in the Son sure
He is the world's true Light - Chorus
Eternal King now living
Triumphant o'er the grave
Come to our hearts, abide now
And stay, us fully save - Chorus
'Blesséd He be, the one who
Comes in the Lord's name true'
Their shouts, their songs, rejoicing
Praises to Him anew - Chorus
Though later then their pleading
Is 'Crucify' and die
Yet He on cross the Victor
Given the name most high - Chorus
Our suffering Saviour dying
There seen upon the tree
Now we sing to Him and praise
He redeemed you and me - Chorus
Lord of Lords reigning on high
On us favours bestow
That all the world confess you
And all peoples you know - Chorus
For Easter message fades not
Christ died and rose again
Will return for His own soon
Unending glories then - Chorus

Yes we are off to the Palm Sunday Service in a while - I hope I do not trip over the palm leaves!
Good write.
Thanks Gold. Who's been cutting down all the palm leaves?!
Thanks STEVE for a perfect spiritual uplift on PSALM Sunday ~ A perfect hymn and an awesome video ! You have surpassed yourself with your Poem (15 verses and 15 chorus) like a Canto by Ezra Pound ! Thanks for caring & sharing ~ BROTHER BRIAN
Thanks Brian. I added a few verses this year to an original. Well I did a long one the other day with plenty of Alleluias in it - 75 in all!
