VERSES (ENGLISH)
1. Thou art the King of Israel,
Thou David's royal Son, who in the
Lord's name comest,
The King and blessed one.
2. The company of angels
Are praising thee on high;
And mortal men, and all things
Created, make reply.
3. The people of the Hebrews
With palms before thee went:
Our praise and prayers and anthems
Before thee we present.
4. To thee before thy passion,
They sang their hymns of praise;
To thee, now high exalted,
Our melody we praise.
5. Thou didst accept their praises;
Accept the prayers we bring,
Who in all good delightest,
Thou good and gracious King.
ANTIPHON
Lauda Jerusalem Dominum
Lauda Deum tuum Sion
Hosanna, Hosanna
Hosanna Filio David.
