Palm Sunday

 

John 12:13 - King James Version

13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the Highest

1. Hosanna in the highest

To our exalted Savior,

Who left behind for all mankind

These tokens of His favor:

His bleeding love and mercy,

His all redeeming Passion;

Who here displays, and gives the grace

Which brings us our salvation.

2. Louder than gathered waters,

Or bursting peals of thunder,

We lift our voice and speak our joys

And shout our loving wonder.

Shout, all our elder brethren,

While we record the story

Of Him that came and suffered shame,

To carry us to glory.

3. Angels in fixed amazement

Around our altars hover,

With eager gaze adore the grace

Of our eternal Lover:

Himself and all His fullness

Who gives to the believer;

And by this bread whoe’er are fed

Shall live with God for ever.
