Today's Hymn

[chrishansenhome]

...well, actually Palm Sunday's hymn, is "All Glory, Laud, and Honour". This hymn was written by Theodolph of Orleans, who lived from 760-821. I have recently discovered that there is a verse that we never sing, the last one below.

All Glory, Laud and Honour

Refrain
All glory, laud and honour,
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. Refrain

The company of angels
Are praising Thee on High,
And mortal men and all things
Created make reply. Refrain

The people of the Hebrews
With palms before Thee went;
Our prayer and praise and anthems
Before Thee we present. Refrain

To Thee, before Thy passion,
They sang their hymns of praise;
To Thee, now high exalted,
Our melody we raise. Refrain

Thou didst accept their praises;
Accept the prayers we bring,
Who in all good delightest,
Thou good and gracious King. Refrain

Be Thou, O Lord, the Rider,
And we the little ass,
That to God’s holy city
Together we may pass. Refrain

If that isn't soft pornography, I don't know what is. Thanks to Lightspeed, where this verse was referenced.
