No Tramp of Soldiers' Marching Feet
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 21:1-9 Lyrics: 1 No tramp of soldiers’ marching feet
with banners and with drums,
no sound of music’s martial beat:
“The King of glory comes!”
To greet what pomp of kingly pride
no bells in triumph ring,
no city gates swing open wide:
“Behold, behold your King!”
2 And yet he comes. The children cheer;
with palms his path is strown.
With ev’ry step the cross draws near:
The King of glory’s throne.
Astride a colt he passes by
as loud hosannas ring,
or else the very stones would cry
“Behold, behold your King!”
3 What fading flow’rs his road adorn;
the palms, how soon laid down!
No bloom or leaf but only thorn
the King of glory’s crown.
The soldiers mock, the rabble cries,
the streets with tumult ring,
as Pilate to the mob replies,
“Behold, behold your King!”
4 Now he who bore for mortals’ sake
the cross and all its pains
and chose a servant’s form to take,
the King of glory reigns.
Hosanna to the Savior’s name
till heaven’s rafters ring,
and all the ransomed host proclaim
“Behold, behold your King!” Topics: Palm Sunday Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Noell, nowell, nowell, nowell
Meter: Irregular Appears in 401 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11 First Line: The first nowell the angel did say Lyrics: 1 The first nowell the angel did say
was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay,
in fields where they lay keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Refrain:
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell,
born is the king of Israel.
2 When they looked up they saw a star
shining in the east beyond them far,
and to the earth it gave great light
and so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]
3 And by the light of that same star
three wise men came from country far;
to seek for a king was their intent,
and to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
4 This star drew nigh to the north-west;
over Bethlehem it took its rest,
and there it did both stop and stay
right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]
5 Then entered in those wise men three
and reverently, upon their knee,
they offered there in his presence
their gold and myrrh and frankincense. [Refrain]
6 Now let us all with one accord
sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
who has made heaven and earth from naught,
and with his blood salvation bought. [Refrain] Topics: Jesus Christ Incarnation Used With Tune: THE FIRST NOWELL Text Sources: Anon., English, c. 17th cent.
