Strew the way with palm leaves

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: He whose smile reflecting light Lyrics: Chorus: Strew the way with palm leaves, To the holy city; Children in the temple, Make the arches ring; Strew the way with palm leaves, Shout aloud Hosanna, Bow the knee before Him, Salem's mighty King. 1 He whose smile reflecting light, Turn'd to wine the water bright; He who on the stormy deep Hush'd the rolling waves to sleep; Cleans'd the leper by a word, Heal'd the sick, the deaf restored; He who bless'd the loaves, and fed Hungry souls with living bread. [Chorus] 2 He who touch'd the sable bier, Dried the childless widow's tear; He who then but gently spoke, And her son to life awoke; Why rebuke the joyous song, Bursting from a grateful throng? Cease to chide the gath'ring crowd, Or the stones will cry aloud. [Chorus] Used With Tune: SALEM'S MIGHTY KING

Philip Phillips

1834 - 1895 Composer of "SALEM'S MIGHTY KING" in International Song Service Phillips, Philip, commonly known as the "Singing Pilgrim," was born in Chautauqua County, N. York, Aug. 13, 1834. Although engaged in farming for a time, from an early age he devoted himself to music, and ultimately devoted himself to the work of a "Singing Evangelist," in which capacity he has visited most English-speaking countries. His popular hymnals are: (1) Early Blossoms, 1860; (2) Musical Leaves, 1862; and (3) The Singing Pilgrim, 1866. In these works he published one or two hymns, including "I have heard of a Saviour's love" (The love of Christ), as in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, 1878. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
