Palm Sunday, originally uploaded by richarddalton14.

All glory, laud and honor, To Thee, Redeemer, King,
To Whom the lips of children Made sweet hosannas ring.

Thou art the King of Israel, Thou David’s royal Son,
Who in the Lord’s Name comest, The King and Blessèd One.

The company of angels  Are praising Thee on High,
And mortal men and all things  Created make reply.

The people of the Hebrews  With palms before Thee went;
Our prayer and praise and anthems   Before Thee we present.

To Thee, before Thy passion,  They sang their hymns of praise;
To Thee, now high exalted,  Our melody we raise.

Thou didst accept their praises;  Accept the prayers we bring,
Who in all good delightest,   Thou good and gracious King.
