All Glory, Laud, and Honor
Text: Theodulph of Orleans, c. 820, tr. John M. Neale, 1851
Tune: ST. THEODULPH, Melchior Teschner
Refrain
All glory, laud and honor,
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 Blessèd One.
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

It's not Palm Sunday without this hymn.
Thanks Psalmist. He is a good and gracious King.
Thank you for posting these traditional words. I sing these every year before realizing that our hymnal has changed most of the language in this hymn to erase the "King" references! I'm all for refraining from being paternalistic/ imperialistic, but for goodness sake, if Jesus can't be King on Palm Sunday, haven't we taken it a bit too far?!
