All Glory, Laud, and Honor

The children's choirs sang in worship this morning.  They processed in waving palm branches along with the adult choir, singing praises to God; the trumpet played, a mighty and powerful sound reminding me of the trumpets of heaven.  The arrival of the King is something to be celebrated.

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.

The people of the Hebrews

With palms before Thee went;

Our praise and prayers 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 prayers we bring,

Who in all good delightest,

Thou good and gracious king!
