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 blessed One.2. The people of the Hebrews with palms before thee went; our prayer and praise and anthems before thee we present. To thee, before thy pas - sion, they sang their hymns of praise; to thee, now high exalted, our melody we raise.3. To heav’nly hosts of angels are praising thee on high, and mortal men and all things created make reply. Thou dost accept their praises; accept the praise we bring, who in all good delightest, thou good and gracious King!
