1.

Refrain:

All glory, laud and honor,

To Thee, Redeemer, King,

To Whom the lips of children

Made sweet hosannas ring.

Thou art the King of Israel,

Thou David’s royal Son,

Who in the Lord’s Name comest,

The King and Blessèd One.

Refrain.

2.

The company of angels

Are praising Thee on High,

And mortal men and all things

Created make reply.

Refrain.

3.

The people of the Hebrews

With palms before Thee went;

Our prayer and praise and anthems

Before Thee we present.

Refrain.

4.

To Thee, before Thy passion,

They sang their hymns of praise;

To Thee, now high exalted,

Our melody we raise.

Refrain.

5.

Thou didst accept their praises;

Accept the prayers we bring,

Who in all good delightest,

Thou good and gracious King.

Refrain.
