¶Lyrics / Text

Donkey-riding Jesus is coming to town Hooray, Halleluia Blowing your own trumpet makes walls tumble down Hooray, Halleluia Jesus riding onwards, delighting the crowd Hooray, Halleluia People waving branches and shouting out loud: Hooray, Halleluia People sing his praises as if he were king. Hooray, Halleluia Can’t you hear the stones give an echoing ring? Hooray, Halleluia Ev’ryone is clapping, a song in their heart Hooray, Halleluia Didn’t Jesus promise that God’s reign would start? Hooray, Halleluia Jesus looks like trouble, the authorities frown Hooray, Halleluia Somehow they will have to damp it all down! Hooray, Halleluia Ah, what is going to happen? Will Jesus die? Hooray, Halleluia Has be guessed what’s coming, the person God sends? Hooray, Halleluia Ride on in majesty, in lowly pomp ride on to die. Hooray, Halleluia While the people praise him is he waving goodbye? Hooray, Halleluia Risking his own life to make enemies friends Hooray, Halleluia O Christ thy triumphs now begin Hooray, Halleluia O’er captive death and conquer’d sin. Hooray, Halleluia What the people shouted was more than they knew: Hooray, Halleluia Calling him a king then was perfectly true. Hooray, Halleluia Bow thy meek head to mortal pain, Then take, O God, thy power and reign!
