Palm Sunday
Opening Hymn #181 All Glory, Laud, and Honour
Refrain 3 The people of the Hebrews
All glory, laud, and honour with palms before you went;
to you, Redeemer, King, our praise and prayer and
to whom the lips of children anthems
made sweet hosannas ring. before you we present.
1 You are the King of Israel 4 To you before your passion
and David's royal Son, they sang their hymns of praise;
now in the Lord's name coming, to you, now high exalted,
the King and Blessed One. our melody we raise.
2 The company of angels 5 As you received their praises,
is praising you on high; accept the prayers we bring,
and we with all creation for you delight in goodness,
in chorus make reply. O good and gracious King!
Liturgy of the Palms
Presider Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
People Hosanna in the highest.
Presider Dear friends in Christ, during Lent we have been preparing
for the celebration of our Lord’s paschal mystery. On this
day our Lord Jesus Christ entered the holy city of Jerusalem
in triumph. The people welcomed Jesus with palms and
shouts of praise, but the path before him led to self-giving,
suffering, and death.
Today we greet Jesus as our King, although we know his
crown is thorns and his throne a cross. We follow him this
week from the glory of the palms to the glory of the
resurrection by way of the dark road of suffering and death.
United with Christ in his suffering on the cross, may weshare his resurrection and new life.
Let us pray.
Assist us mercifully with your help, Lord God of our
salvation, that we may enter with joy into the celebration of
those mighty acts whereby you give us life and immortality;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Presider The Lord be with you.
People And also with you.
Presider Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People It is right to give our thanks and praise.
Presider It is right to praise you, almighty God, for the acts of love by
which you have redeemed us through your Son Jesus Christ
our Lord. The Hebrews acclaimed Jesus as Messiah and
King, with palm branches in their hands, crying, “Hosanna in
the highest”. May we also, carrying these emblems, go forth
to meet Christ and follow him in the way that leads to
eternal life; who lives and reigns in glory with you and the
Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.
Hymn #182 Ride On, Ride On in Majesty
1 Ride on, ride on in majesty! 4 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry; Your last and fiercest strife is nigh;
O Savior meek, pursue your road the Father on his sapphire throne
with palms and scattered expects his own anointed Son.
garments strowed.
2 Ride on, ride on in majesty! 5 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die: In lowly pomp ride on to die;
O Christ, your triumphs now begin bow your meek head
o'er captive death and to mortal pain,
conquered sin. then take, O God, your pow'r
and reign.
3 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
The winged squadrons of the sky
look down with sad and
wond'ring eyes
to see th'approaching sacrifice.
2Presider Humble and riding on a donkey,
All we greet you.
Presider Acclaimed by crowds and carolled by children,
All we cheer you.
Presider Moving from the peace of the countryside to the corridors
of power,
All we salute you, Christ our Lord.
Presider Let us pray.
You give the beasts of burden a new dignity;
you give majesty a new face;
you give those who long for redemption a new song to sing.
All With them, with heart and voice, we shout “Hosanna!”.
Listening to God
Reading — Zechariah 9.9-12
Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem! Lo,
your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he, humble and riding
on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. He will cut off the chariot
from Ephraim and the warhorse from Jerusalem; and the battle-bow shall be
cut off, and he shall command peace to the nations; his dominion shall be
from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your
prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to your stronghold, O prisoners
of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double.
Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.
People Thanks be to God.
Psalm 118.1-2,19-29
All 1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; *
his mercy endures for ever.
2 Let Israel now proclaim, *
"His mercy endures for ever."
19 Open for me the gates of righteousness; *
I will enter them; I will offer thanks to the Lord.
20 "This is the gate of the Lord; *
he who is righteous may enter."
21 I will give thanks to you, for you answered me *
3and have become my salvation.
22 The same stone which the builders rejected *
has become the chief cornerstone.
23 This is the Lord's doing, *
and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 On this day the Lord has acted; *
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Hosannah, Lord, hosannah! *
Lord, send us now success.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; *
we bless you from the house of the Lord.
27 God is the Lord; he has shined upon us; *
form a procession with branches up to the horns of the altar.
28 "You are my God, and I will thank you; *
you are my God, and I will exalt you."
29 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; *
his mercy endures for ever.

Gospel Reading — Matthew 21.1-11
When Jesus and his disciples had come near Jerusalem and had reached
Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them,
"Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey
tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says
anything to you, just say this, `The Lord needs them.' And he will send them
immediately." This took place to fulfill what had been spoken through the
prophet, saying,
"Tell the daughter of Zion,
4Look, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey."
The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; they brought the
donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. A
very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches
from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead
of him and that followed were shouting,
"Hosanna to the Son of David!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!"
When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, "Who is
this?" The crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in
Galilee."
Reader Let anyone with ears to hear, listen.
People Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
