NARRATION (Man)
On the Sunday before Passover, as Jesus came nigh unto Jerusalem for the
Feast, he sent two of his disciples, saying, Go ye into the village; in the
Which ye shall find a colt tied: loose him and bring him hither.
NARRATION (Woman)
And they brought the colt to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon him,
And they set Jesus thereon. And a very great multitude spread their
Garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed
Them in the way. And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the
Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and
Praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen.
CHOIR
The Promise of Ages whom prophets foretold,
For whom we have waited e'er long,
Hath come to redeem us from slavery's yoke
And deliver His people back home.
Come, Israel, come and see He who shall reign,
In whom we will ever rejoice,
We hear the sound of the glorious refrain
And it echoeth back in our voice:
Hosanna! Hosanna! Thy Savior hath come, O Israel,
And blessed He'll ever be called!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Sing praises to God,
For our Hope, our Deliv'rer, our All!
Oh, why should we wander as strangers from Thee
And turn from Thy bounteous hand?
Restore and defend us, oh, set us free,
That beside Thee we ever may stand!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Thy Savior hath come, O Israel,
And blessed He'll ever be called!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Sing praises to God,
For our Hope, our Deliv'rer, our All!
He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice,
And myriads wait for His word;
He speaks, and eternity, filled with His voice,
Re-echoes the praise of her Lord:
Hosanna! Hosanna! Thy Savior hath come, O Israel,
And blessed He'll ever be called!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Sing praises to God,
For our Hope, our Deliv'rer, our All!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Thy Savior hath come,
Our Hope, our Salvation, our All!
