1All glory, laud, and honor
To Thee, Redeemer, King!
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.

2Thou art the King of Israel,
Thou David's royal Son,
Who in the Lord's name comest,
The King and Blessed One.

3The company of angels
Are praising Thee on high,
And mortal men and all things
Created make reply.

4To Thee before Thy passion
They sang their hymns of praise;
To Thee now high exalted
Our melody we raise.
