Matthew
[Processional Opening] Untie the colt no man has ridden. The Lord has need; let it be brought. Garments spread across the roadway, Palm branches raised in every court. Bethany behind the company, Olivet beneath the sky; Zion's King came meek and lowly, Not on warhorse passing by. [Chorus] Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He that comes In the name of the Lord, While the city beats like drums. Hosanna in the highest! Let the stones themselves reply If every human voice is silenced When the King is passing by. [Verse 2] Children shouted in the temple; Pharisees demanded peace. The multitude recalled the signs, And praise would not release. Yet from the ridge He saw Jerusalem, Wept for what it would not know: The things that belonged to peace were hidden, And siege would follow after show. [Bridge] Crowns expected sudden conquest. Prophecy chose gentler frame. The King rode toward rejection, Toward the cross beneath the name. [Final Chorus] Hosanna to the Son of David! Palm and garment marked the ground. Blessed is He that comes in God's name; Jerusalem shook beneath the sound. Hosanna in the highest! The humble King had entered town.
