Let the palms wave on this most hap­py day!
Greetings they bear to us of joy and glad­ness.
Jesus is come to take all grief away,
He comes to ban­ish gloom and sad­ness.

Refrain

People and tongues shall chant His praise;
Tune ev­ery voice, His name be glad­ly sing­ing.
Hosanna! Glo­ry to God!
Glory to Him who comes bring­ing sal­va­tion.

His gen­tle voice per­vades the migh­ty throng.
’Tis He who free­dom gives o’er land and sea;
’Tis He who gives in dark­est night a song,
Gives light, O Lord, that we may come to Thee!

Refrain

Rejoice, re­joice, Je­ru­sa­lem the ho­ly!
Loud let thy joy­ous notes in praise as­cend­ing.
Laud Him, the Child of Beth­le­hem the low­ly,
All hearts aflame, in song all voices blend­ing.
