On a little donkey, two-thousand years ago

Christ rode into Jerusalem, so all the world would know

He was fulfilling prophecy, and every one could sing

And worship the Savior, Messiah, and King

And they sang



Hosanna, Hosanna

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord

Hosanna, Hosanna

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord



All the people worshipped, the little children laughed

They took the palm leaves from the trees and laid

Them in His path

Their hearts were overflowing, their spirits came alive

Emanuel the Chosen One has finally arrived

And they sang
