1. "Blessed is He Whom Comes in the Name of the Lord" by Theodulph of Orleans

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
2. "Hosanna, Loud Hosanna” by Jeanette Threlfall
Hosanna, loud hosanna,
The little children sang;
Through pillared court and temple
The lovely anthem rang.
To Jesus, who had blessed them
Close folded to His breast,
The children sang their praises,
The simplest and the best
3. “Ride on! ride on in majesty!” by Henry Hart Hilman

O Savior meek, pursue your road,
with palms and scattered garments strowed

King Jesus rides on a milk-white horse,
No man can a-hinder me;
The river of Jordan he did cross,
No man can a-hinder me.
5. “All Glory, Laud and Honor” by Theodulf of Orleans
First Stanza:
All glory, laud, and honor
to you, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
You are the King of Israel
and David's royal Son,
now in the Lord's name coming,
the King and Blessed One
6. “Palm Branches” by J. Paul Williams

Palm branches, palm branches,
Filling the air,
Palm branches, Waving and seen everywhere
Heard the hosannas as lovely they ring
Psalm branches, palm branches
laid at the feet of the king

Who is the great I am

The Savior comes,
the Savior promised long;
let ev'ry heart prepare a throne
and ev'ry voice a song
9. “Come, Ye who Love the Lord” by Isaac Watts

Come, we that love the Lord,
and let our joys be known.
Join in a song with sweet accord,
join in a song with sweet accord,
and thus surround the throne,
and thus surround the throne.

All hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall.
Bring forth the royal diadem,

Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all!
