PALM SUNDAY.
“And ye shall take you on the first day, the boughs of goodly
trees, branches of palm trees.”
As on this day in the times of yore,
A King forth fared to His wond'rous ride;
And a multitude that went before,
And a multitude that follow'd cried,
“Hosanna.”
A King forth fared to His wond'rous ride;
And a multitude that went before,
And a multitude that follow'd cried,
“Hosanna.”
They spread their garments beneath His feet,
And straw'd green palms on the rock-hewn way;
“Great Son of David,” in greeting sweet,
“Blessèd art Thou,” they did sing and say;
“Hosanna.”
And straw'd green palms on the rock-hewn way;
“Great Son of David,” in greeting sweet,
“Blessèd art Thou,” they did sing and say;
“Hosanna.”
Lo, when He mark'd from the mount's descent
Beautiful Salem in all her pride,
Under the olives He weeping went,
While bearing their palms her children cried,
“Hosanna.”
Beautiful Salem in all her pride,
Under the olives He weeping went,
While bearing their palms her children cried,
“Hosanna.”
Mourner and Monarch, Thy tears are dry;
But the song of the palms shall ne'er be o'er,
For the multitudes yet following cry,
As the multitude gone on before,
“Hosanna.”
But the song of the palms shall ne'er be o'er,
For the multitudes yet following cry,
As the multitude gone on before,
“Hosanna.”
