Hymn: “All Glory, Laud, and Honor” Words: Theodulph of Orleans, circa 820; tr John M. Neale, 1851, Music: ST. THEODULPH by Melchior Teschner, 1615
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.
The company of angels Are praising Thee on High,
And mortal men and all things Created make reply.
The people of the Hebrews With palms before Thee went;
Our praise and prayer and anthems Before Thee we present.
To Thee, before Thy passion, They sang their hymns of praise;
To Thee, now high exalted, Our melody we raise.
Thou didst accept their praises; Accept the praise we bring,
Who in all good delightest, Thou good and gracious King.
Scripture: Mark 11:1-11

Prayer
Hymn: “Ride On, Ride On in Majesty” Words: Henry H Milman, 1827, alt, Music: ST. DROSTANE by John B Dykes, 1862
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes Hosanna cry!
Thy humble beast pursues its road
With palms and scattered garments strowed.
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die!
O Christ! Thy triumph now begin
O’er captive death and conquered sin.
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
The hosts of angels in the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes,
To see the approaching sacrifice!
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
Bow Thy meek head to mortal pain!
Then take, O God! Thy power, and reign!
Benediction
