Cabalga majestuoso

Representative Text

1 Cabalga majestuoso tan alto embajador,
Seguido de sus fieles del Olivar a Sión.
Las multitudes cantan con gozo y con fervor:
¡Hosanna al rey que viene en nombre del Señor!

2 Con palmas y con ramos el pueblo marcha en pos,
aclámanle lo niños, rindiendo gloria a Dios.
Las multitudes cantan con gozo y con fervor:
¡Hosanna al rey que viene en nombre del Señor!

3 Cubrid de mirto y flores la senda del Señor,
con corazón y labios rendidle adoración.
Cantadle, multitudes, con gozo y con fervor:
¡Hosanna al rey que viene en nombre del Señor!
