Exultant raise thy voice
To hail the day of glory
Foretold in sacred story.
Refrain:
Hosanna, praise, and glory!
Our King, we bow before Thee.
2 Let shouts of gladness rise
Triumphant to the skies.
Now comes the King most glorious
To reign o'er all victorious. [Refrain]
3 A humble beast He rides,
Yet as a King presides;
Though not arrayed in splendor,
He makes the grave surrender. [Refrain]
4 The weak and timid find
How meek He is and kind;
To them He gives a treasure
Of bliss beyond all measure. [Refrain]
5 Then go thy Lord to meet;
Strew palm leaves at His feet;
Thy garments spread before Him
And honor and adore Him. [Refrain] Scripture: Matthew 21:1-16 Used With Tune: WO SOLL ICH FLIEHEN HIN Text Sources: Danish
