I’m having serious writer’s block when it comes to anything faith-related so y’all are getting more hymns.<\/p>\n
“All Glory, Laud, and Honor” is the standard processional for Palm Sunday. Written at the time of Charlemagne by Theodulph of Orleans (ca. 750-821), it is set to a 17th century tune named for him. It’s one of my favorite “once a year” hymns and we sing it as we’re filing into the sanctuary after the Liturgy of the Palms and the kids sword-fighting with their palm fronds.<\/p>\n
All glory, laud, and honor
\nto thee, Redeemer, King!
\nto whom the lips of children
\nmade sweet hosannas ring.<\/strong><\/p>\nThou art the King of Israel,
\nthou David’s royal Son,
\nwho in the Lord’s Name comest,
\nthe King and Blessed One.<\/p>\nAll glory, laud, and honor
\nto thee, Redeemer, King!
\nto whom the lips of children
\nmade sweet hosannas ring.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe company of angels
\nare praising thee on high;
\nand mortal men and all things
\ncreated make reply.<\/p>\nAll glory, laud, and honor
\nto thee, Redeemer, King!
\nto whom the lips of children
\nmade sweet hosannas ring.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe people of the Hebrews
\nwith palms before thee went;
\nour praise and prayer and anthems
\nbefore thee we present. <\/p>\nAll glory, laud, and honor
\nto thee, Redeemer, King!
\nto whom the lips of children
\nmade sweet hosannas ring.<\/strong><\/p>\nTo thee before thy passion
\nthey sang their hymns of praise;
\nto thee, now high exalted,
\nour melody we raise.<\/p>\nAll glory, laud, and honor
\nto thee, Redeemer, King!
\nto whom the lips of children
\nmade sweet hosannas ring.<\/strong><\/p>\nThou didst accept their praises;
\naccept the prayers we bring,
\nwho in all good delightest,
\nthou good and gracious King.<\/p>\nAll glory, laud, and honor
\nto thee, Redeemer, King!
\nto whom the lips of children
\nmade sweet hosannas ring.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n(HT: Oremus<\/a>)<\/p>\n
