Palm Sunday (4)

 

 

 All Glory Laud and Honor

Thou art the King of Israel,
thou David's royal Son,
who in the Lord's Name comest,
the King and Blessed One. R

 Refrain:
All glory, laud, and honor
to thee, Redeemer, King!
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.

The company of angels
are praising thee on high;
and mortal men and all things
created make reply. R

The people of the Hebrews
with palms before thee went;
our praise and prayer and anthems
before thee we present. R

To thee before thy passion
they sang their hymns of praise;
to thee, now high exalted,
our melody we raise. R

Thou didst accept their praises;
accept the prayers we bring,
who in all good delightest,
thou good and gracious King. R
