Triumphal Song

lyricist: Ralph Horne, 1897
Composer: Bertha John, 1896

Riding on comes the King of the low­ly

To the ci­ty of Da­vid so fair;

His dis­ci­ples are shout­ing Ho­san­na!

Waving palm branch­es in the air;

The people are ask­ing in won­der

Who com­eth? The mul­ti­tude sing

This is Je­sus

the Na­za­rene Teach­er

This is Je­sus

the Pro­phet King.

Riding on comes the King in His glo­ry

But the peo­ple still ask

Who is this?

Let us give Him our full­est al­le­giance

Nor be­tray with a trai­tor’s kiss.

Our lives tell the worth of our mes­sage

Tho’ lips tell the mes­sage we bring:

Love for Je­sus

the Na­za­rene Teach­er

Love for Je­sus

the Pro­phet King.
