Hymn lyrics:
NCH 216: “All Glory, Laud, and Honor,” Text: Theodulph of Orléans, 9th cent, trans. John Mason Neale, 1854, altered; Tune: “St. Theodulph,” Melchior Teschner, 1615.
v. 1: All glory, laud, and honor to you, O Christ, we sing, to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring! The people of the Hebrews with palms adorned your way; our praise and prayer and anthems we offer you this day.
v. 2: O Promised One of Israel, of David’s royal line, the one called “God’s beloved,” of flesh and yet divine, to you, before your passion, they sang their hymns of praise; to you now high exalted, our melody we raise.
v. 3: As you received their praises, receive our prayers today, whose justice and whose mercy and sovereignty hold sway. All glory, laud, and honor to you, O Christ, we sing, to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring!
NCH 214: “Mantos y Ramos” (Filled with Excitement), Words and Music: Rubén Ruíz Avila, 1972, trans. Gertrude C. Suppe, 1979, 1987, altered; arr. Alvin Schutmaat, 1979.
v. 1: Filled with excitement, all the happy throng spread cloaks and branches on the city streets. There in the distance they begin to see, there on a donkey comes the Savior, Christ. From every corner a thousand voices sing praise to the One who comes in the name of God. Our acclamation breaks forth in shouts of praise, our triumphant song of joy: “Hosanna, hosanna to Christ! Hosanna, hosanna to Christ!”
v. 2: As in that entrance to Jerusalem, hosannas we will sing to Jesus Christ, to our Redeemer who still calls today, asks us to follow with our love and faith. From every corner a thousand voices sing praise to the One who comes in the name of God. Our acclamation breaks forth in shouts of praise, our triumphant song of joy: “Hosanna, hosanna to Christ! Hosanna, hosanna to Christ!”
NCH 215: “Ride On! Ride On in Majesty,” Henry H. Milman, 1827, adapt. Lavon Baylor, 1993; Tune: “St. Drostane,” John B. Dykes, 1862.
v. 1: Ride on! Ride on in majesty! O Christ, with brave humility, on lowly colt, your road pursue, as palms and cloaks are spread for you.
v. 2: Ride on! Ride on in majesty! As crowds of people come to see and shout hosannas, lifting high their praise for one about to die.
v. 3: Ride on! Ride on in majesty! Ride on in humble dignity; behold the ones you came to save from senseless life and endless grave.
v. 4: Ride on! Ride on in majesty! For you have set your people free and we, remembering all your pain [leave] again to hail your reign.
