Religion

Glory, and honour, and laud be to Thee, King Christ the Redeemer!
Children before Whose steps raised their Hosannas of praise.
Glory, and honour, &c.

Israel's Monarch art Thou, and the glorious Offspring of David,
Thou that approachest a King blessed in the Name of the Lord.
Glory, and honour, &c.

Glory to Thee in the highest the heavenly armies are singing:
Glory to Thee upon earth man and creation reply.
Glory, and honour, &c.

Met Thee with Palms in their hands that day the folk of the Hebrews:
We with our prayers and our hymns now to Thy presence approach.
Glory, and honour, &c.

They to Thee proffered their praise for to herald Thy dolorous Passion;
We to the King on His Throne utter the jubilant hymn.
Glory, and honour, &c.

They were then pleasing to Thee, unto Thee our devotion be pleasing;
Merciful King, kind King, Who in all goodness art pleas'd.
Glory, and honour, &c.

They in their pride of descent were rightly the children of Hebrews:
Hebrews are we, whom the Lord's Passover maketh the same.
Glory, and honour, &c.
