Come faithful People
Come, faithful people, come away
your homage to your Monarch pay;
it is the feast of palms today:
Hosanna in the highest!
When Christ, the Lord of all, drew nigh
on Sunday morn to Bethany,
he called two loved ones standing by:
Hosanna in the highest!
"To yonder village go," said he,
"An ass and foal shall ye see,
loose them and bring them unto me:"
Hosanna in the highest!
"If any man dispute your word,
say, 'They are needed by the Lord,'
and he permission will accord:"
Hosanna in the highest!
The two upon their errand sped,
and found the ass as he had said,
and on the colt their clothes they spread:
Hosanna in the highest!
They set him on his throne so rude;
before him went the multitude,
and in their way their garments strewed:
Hosanna in the highest!
Go, Savior, thus to triumph borne,
thy crown shall be the wreath of thorn,
thy royal garb the robe of scorn:
Hosanna in the highest!
They thronged before, behind, around,
they cast palm-branches on the ground,
and still rose up the joyful sound:
Hosanna in the highest!
"Bless�d is Israel's King," they cry;
"Blessed is he that cometh nigh
in name of God the Lord most high."
Hosanna in the highest!
Thus, Savior, to thy passion go,
arrayed in royalty of woe,
assumed for sinners here below:
Hosanna in the highest!
