Common Praise ‎#128

128. Thou art the King of Israel

Refrain:
All glory, laud, and honour
to thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.

2 Thou art the King of Israel,
thou David's royal Son,
who in the Lord's name comest,
the King and blessèd one: [Refrain]

3 The company of angels
are praising thee on high,
and mortal men and all things
created make reply: [Refrain]

4 The people of the Hebrews
with palms before thee went:
our praise and prayer and anthems
before thee we present: [Refrain]

5 To thee before thy passion
they sang their hymns of praise:
to thee now high exalted
our melody we raise: [Refrain]

6 Thou didst accept their praises,
accept the prayers we bring,
who in all good delightest,
thou good and gracious King: [Refrain]

*7 Thy sorrow and thy triumph
grant us, O Christ, to share,
that to the holy city
together we may fare: [Refrain]

*8 For homage may we bring thee
our victory o'er the foe,
that in the Conqueror's triumph
this strain may ever flow:

9 All glory, laud, and honour
to thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
