Song Lyrics

---

Sung to the tune Austria, or
the hymn Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

HOSANNA THE CROWD WAS SHOUTING,
AS THEY WAVED THEIR PALMS ON HIGH.
THERE WAS NO MORE NEED OF SCOUTING,
THEIR MESSIAH NOW WAS NIGH.

TRIUMPHANTLY RODE LORD JESUS
HUMBLE THOUGH HE WAS A KING,
EVEN CHILDREN MADE A BIG FUSS
AS THEY MADE THE TEMPLE RING.

BLESSED IS THE SON OF DAVID
WAS THE SONG THE CHILDREN SANG.
SHOUTING ABOUT ALL THAT HE DID
AFTER WHOM THE WHOLE WORLD SPRANG.

A DAY OF SUCH GREAT EMOTION
TOUCHED THE LIVES OF EVERYONE.
A DAY OF SUCH GREAT DEVOTION;
YET SOME THERE DESPISED THE SON.

ISRAEL'S LEADERS TRIED TO END IT,
IT WAS SO UNDIGNIFIED;
THERE WAS NO WAY TO DEFEND IT;
THIS MAN MUST BE CRUCIFIED.

CHILDREN SANG THE KING IS COMING;
THAT IS STILL OUR MESSAGE TOO.
EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND TONGUE SING
PRAISE TO WHOM ALL PRAISE IS DUE.

JESUS STILL MAKES HIS GREAT ENTRY
INTO HEARTS THAT OPEN WIDE.
THERE'S NO PLACE AND THERE'S NO CENTURY
INTO WHICH HE WILL NOT RIDE.

OPEN THEN YOUR HEART TO JESUS,
HAIL HIM RIGHT NOW AS YOUR KING.
HE HAS PROMISED NOT TO LEAVE US
TIL WE CONQUER EVERYTHING.
