The composer set verse 1,2,6,7 and 8: 1 Come, faithful people, come away, Your homage to your monarch pay; It is the feast of palms today; Hosanna in the highest! 2 When Christ, the Lord of all, drew nigh On Sunday morn to Bethany, He called two loved ones standing by: Hosanna in the highest! 3 "To yonder village go," said He, "An ass and foal tied shall ye see, Loose them and bring them unto Me;" Hosanna in the highest! 4 "If any man dispute your word, Say, 'They are needed by the Lord,' And he permission will accord": Hosanna in the highest! 5 The two upon their errand sped, And found the ass as He had said, And on the colt their clothes they spread: Hosanna in the highest! 6 They set Him upon His throne so rude; Before Him went the multitude, And in their way their garments strewed: Hosanna in the highest! 7 Go, Savior, thus to triumph borne, Thy crown shall be the wreath of thorn, Thy royal garb the robe of scorn: Hosanna in the highest! 8 They thronged before, behind, around, They cast palm branches on the ground, And still rose up the joyful sound: Hosanna in the highest! 9 "Blessèd is Israel’s king," they cry; "Blessèd is He that cometh nigh In name of God the Lord most high": Hosanna in the highest! 10 Thus, Savior, to Thy passion go, Arrayed in royalty of woe, Assumed for sinners here below: Hosanna in the highest!
