1 O’er all the way green palms and blossoms gay are strewn this day in festal preparation,
Where Jesus comes, to wipe our tears away;
E’en now the throng to welcome Him prepare.
Refrain:
Join, sing His name divine, let every voice resound with united acclamation, Hosanna! Praised be the Lord, bless Him who cometh to bring us salvation.
2 His word goes forth, and people by its might
Once more their freedom gain from degradation; Humanity doth give to each his right, while those in darkness find restored the light. [Refrain]
3 Sing and rejoice, O blest Jerusalem,
Of all thy songs sing the emancipation;
Through boundless love, the Christ of Bethlehem brings forth the hope to thee forevermore. [Refrain]
