The Palms

Verse 1 O'er all the way green palms and blossoms gay
Are strewn this day in festal preparation,
Where Jesus comes, to wipe our tears away;
E'en now the throng to welcome Him prepare.

Verse 2 His word goes forth, and people by its might
Once more their freedom gain from degradation;
Humanity doth give to each his right,
While those in darkness find restored the light.

Verse 3 Sing and rejoice, O blest Jerusalem,
Of all thy songs sing the emancipation;
Thro' boundless love, the Christ of Bethlehem
Brings forth the hope to thee forevermore.

Refrain Join, sing His name divine,
Let ev'ry voice resound with united acclamation, Ho
sanna! Praised be the Lord,
Bless Him who cometh to bring us salvation.
