Triumphal Entry

See from Beth­any ad­vanc­ing

Joyful throngs by Je­sus led;

Loud ho­san­nas rend the heav­ens

Garments rich His path­way spread;

Shout

ye saints! your tri­umph sing!

Blessèd is the com­ing King!

Now the sac­red gates are lift­ed

Zion’s king is pass­ing through.

All the glo­ry of the ci­ty

And the tem­ple rise to view;

Zion

shout

your Sav­ior own

David’s Son

on Da­vid’s throne!

King of peace

Je­ho­vah’s chos­en!

King with highest glo­ry crowned!

Honored by the hosts of Heav­en

By the earth­ly Zi­on owned.

Take Thy scep­ter

rule the throng

Praising Thee with hal­lowed song!

Sad

ah

sad the change­ful mo­rrow

Bitter scorn for ar­dent praise;

They who’d build a throne of glo­ry

Now a cru­el cross up­raise.

Yet

O Zion

tri­umph sing!

Christ be­trayed is Sav­ior

king!

See! the tem­ple veil is rend­ing

Mountains quake

the dead arise;

Darkness hides the day’s full glo­ry

Lightnings fill the black­ened skies;

Still

O Zi­on

tri­umph sing!

Christ the ris­en Lord

is king.

From His low­ly tomb are roll­ing

Sealèd rock and mid­night gloom;

O’er the realm of death vic­tor­ious

Christ

the ris­en Lord

has come.

Shout

ye ran­somed! prais­es sing

Christ

the ris­en Lord

is king!
