Are strewn this day in festal preparation,
Where Jesus comes, to wipe our tears away;
E'en now the throng to welcome Him prepare.
Refrain:
Join, sing His name divine,
Let every voice resound with united acclamation,
Hosanna! Praised be the Lord,
Bless Him who cometh to bring us salvation.
2 His word goes forth, and people by its might
Once more their freedom gain from degradation;
Humanity doth give to each his right,
While those in darkness find restored the light. [Refrain]
3 Sing and rejoice, O blest Jerusalem,
Of all thy songs sing the emancipation;
Through boundless love, the Christ of Bethlehem
Brings forth the hope to thee forevermore. [Refrain] Topics: Jesus Christ Palm Sunday; Jesus Entry into Jerusalem; Processionals; Recessionals Scripture: Matthew 21:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: THE PALMS
O'er All the Way (The Palms)
