Dein König kommt, o Zion by Johann Christian Weeber — Lyrics
1. Dein König kommt, o Zion!
Er kehret bei dir ein.
Auf, lasset uns ihm Palmen streu'n!
Sanftmütig kommt er in sein Reich,
jauchzt ihm, alle Lande!
Freuet euch, freuet euch!
Hosianna in der Höh'!
Der Herr ist da, Halleluja!

About Dein König kommt, o Zion
Johann Christian Weeber's SATB setting of Dein König kommt, o Zion is a sacred hymn in German. The text rejoices at the arrival of Zion's King, urging a joyful welcome with palm branches and acclamations of "Hosianna". It draws parallels with the entry of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, into Jerusalem, celebrating his divine origin and glorious praise. The composer captures the exultant spirit of the text, creating a powerful anthem for congregational or choral performance. This piece offers a rich harmonic language suitable for experienced choirs, expressing profound devotional sentiment through its setting of familiar biblical themes.
