This glorious Palm Sunday hymn places us in the procession of palms to sing praises to Jesus, who entered into Jerusalem as the King of Israel. As we worship Him on earth, we join in the worship of the angels in heaven and the song of all creation that is offered to Christ as the Redeemer of all. As we sing the same songs as the Palm Sunday crowds so long ago, this is more than a historical reenactment. Because Jesus is actually present with us in the Divine Service, our prayers and praises are received by Him even now as He brings to us His eternal blessings.

Rev. Luke Zimmerman, pastor at Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mechanicsburg, PA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to Lutheran Service Book #442, “All Glory, Laud, and Honor.”
Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God’s Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen.

Refrain:
All glory, laud, and honor
To You, Redeemer, King,
To whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.
1 You are the King of Israel
And David’s royal Son,
Now in the Lord’s Name coming,
Our King and Blessèd One. [Refrain]
2 The company of angels
Is praising You on high,
And we with all creation
In chorus make reply. [Refrain]
3 The multitude of pilgrims
With palms before You went:
Our praise and prayers and anthems
Before You we present. [Refrain]
4 To you before Your passion
They sang their hymns of praise;
To You, now high exalted,
Our melody we raise. [Refrain]
5 As You received their praises,
Accept the prayers we bring,
O Source of ev’ry blessing,
Our good and gracious King. [Refrain]
