The New English Hymnal ‎#509

509. All glory, laud and honour

1 All glory, laud and honour
To thee, Redeemer, King,
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.

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

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

4 The people of the Hebrews
With palms before thee went;
Our praise and prayer and anthems
Before thee we present.

5 To thee before thy passion
They sang their hymns of praise;
To thee, now high exalted,
Our melody we raise.

6 Thou didst accept their praises,
Accept the prayers we bring,
Who in all good delightest,
Thou good and gracious King.

7 *Do thou direct our footsteps
Upon our earthly way,
And bring us by thy mercy
To heaven's eternal day.

8 *Within that blessèd City
Thy praises may we sing,
And ever raise hosannas
To our most loving King.
