†Processional Hymn #248 Hosanna Loud HosannaHosanna, loud hosanna, the little children sang;

Through pillared court temple and the lovely anthem rang; To Jesus, who had blessed them close folded to His breast, The children sang their praises, the simplest and the best.

From Olivet they followed, a happy joyous crowd, Their large palm branches waving, and singing clear and loud;

The Lord of men and angels rode on in simple joy, And welcomed all the children: each little girl and boy.“Hosanna in the highest!” That ancient song we sing,

For Christ is our Redeemer, the Lord of heaven our King; O may we ever praise Him with heart and life and voice,

And in His holy presence Eternally rejoice!

Anthem Blessed is the King Sterling Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna!

Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna! Hosanna! Praise be to the Son of David, praise be to the King of kings.

If we do not shout, "Hosanna," the rocks themselves will sing! Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!

Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna! Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna! Hosanna!

Praise be to the King of Israel, come to claim us for His own. Peace and glory in the highest. He’s come to claim His throne.

Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!(Repeat Verse One)

†Closing Hymn #284 O Sacred Head Now WoundedO sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down,

Now scornfully surrounded with thorns, Thy only crown, How art Thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn!

How does that visage languish Which once was bright as morn!What Thou, my Lord, has suffered Was all for sinners’ gain;

Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ’Tis I deserve Thy place;

Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest friend,

For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever; And, should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love for Thee!
