About this Hymn
This medieval hymn was originally a Latin text (78 couplets), and we sing it to a German melody that dates back to 1619. I love to sing it on Palm Sunday week, as we begin that week and think of all the traditions for hundreds of years that we have maintained to allow us to approach Holy Week. – Keith Getty
Lyrics
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
The people of the Hebrews with palms before thee went; our prayer and praise 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.
Verse 3
The heav'nly hosts of angels are praising thee on high, and mortal men and all things created make reply. Thou dost accept their praises; accept the prayers we bring, who in all good delightest, thou good and gracious King!
