Hymns Palm Sunday 5 April 2020

Entrance Hymn 167, v 1 & 5

1
There is a green hill far away,

outside a city wall,

where our dear Lord was crucified

who died to save us all.

5
O dearly, dearly has he loved!

And we must love him too,

and trust in his redeeming blood,

and try his works to do.

Processional Hymn 154, v 1 & 5 (For procession of the Palms)

  
All glory, laud, and honor


to thee, Redeemer, King!

to whom the lips of children

made sweet hosannas ring.


1
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, laud, and honor


to thee, Redeemer, King!

to whom the lips of children

made sweet hosannas ring.


5
Thou didst accept their praises;

accept the prayers we bring,

who in all good delightest,

thou good and gracious King.


All glory, laud, and honor

to thee, Redeemer, King!

to whom the lips of children

made sweet hosannas ring.

Offertory Hymn 156, v 1 & 5 (While the Altar is being prepared)

1
Ride on! ride on in majesty!

Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry;

thy humble beast pursues his road

with palms and scattered garments strowed.

5
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.

Exit Hymn 168, v 1 & 5

1
O sacred head, sore wounded,

defiled and put to scorn;

O kingly head, surrounded

with mocking crown of thorn:

what sorrow mars thy grandeur?

Can death thy bloom deflower?

O countenance whose splendor

the hosts of heaven adore!

5
My days are few, O fail not,

with thine immortal power,

to hold me that I quail not

in death’s most fearful hour;

that I may fight befriended,

and see in my last strife

to me thine arms extended

upon the cross of life.
