Welcome and Call to Worship

Prayer and Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory
for ever and ever.
Amen.

Ride On, Ride On in Majesty

(With St. Micheal’s Choir)

1. Ride on, ride on in majesty!
   Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry;
   O Savior meek, pursue your road
   with palms and scattered garments strowed.
   

2. Ride on, ride on in majesty!
   In lowly pomp ride on to die:
   O Christ, your triumphs now begin
   o'er captive death and conquered sin.
   

3. Ride on, ride on in majesty!
   The angel armies of the sky
   look down with sad and wond'ring eyes
   to see th'approaching sacrifice.
   

4. Ride on, ride on in majesty!
   Your last and fiercest strife is nigh;
   the Father on his sapphire throne
   expects his own anointed Son.
   

5. Ride on, ride on in majesty!
   In lowly pomp ride on to die;
   bow your meek head to mortal pain,
   then take, O God, your pow'r and reign.
   

1. Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29

Intimations

Hosanna, Loud Hosanna

1. Hosanna, loud hosanna
   the little children sang;
   through pillared court and temple
   the lovely anthem rang.
   To Jesus, who had blessed them,
   close folded to his breast,
   the children sang their praises,
   the simplest and the best.
   

2. From Olivet they followed
   mid an exultant crowd,
   the victory palm branch waving,
   and chanting clear and loud.
   The Lord of earth and heaven
   rode on in lowly state,
   nor scorned that little children
   should on his bidding wait.
   

3. "Hosanna in the highest!"
   That ancient song we sing,
   for Christ is our Redeemer,
   the Lord of heaven, our King.
   O may we ever praise him
   with heart and life and voice,
   and in his blissful presence
   eternally rejoice.
   

Blessing
