Hymnal: Voices of Praise #68 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Sion, Sion, haste to meet Him, Lo, He comes, your Lord and King; Wave the bright palm-branch before Him, And with joy Hosannas sing. 2 See the eager crowd around Him Strew with garments fair His way, Honour to the Son of David, With glad voices hear them say. 3 Even little tender children, Haste their loving Lord to meet; Sing Hosannas with sweet voices, Strew-palm-branches at His feet.
