Original text and translations

English text

All glory, laud and honour, 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. All glory, etc The company of angels Are praising thee on high, And mortal men and all things Created make reply. All glory, etc The people of the Hebrews With palms before thee went; Our prayer and praise and anthems Before thee we present. All glory, etc

To thee, before thy passion, They sang their hymns of praise; To thee, now high exalted, Our melody we raise. All glory, etc Thou didst accept their praises; Accept the prayers we bring, Who in all good delightest, Thou good and gracious King. All glory, laud and honour, To thee, Redeemer, King, To whom the lips of children Made sweet hosannas ring.
