Refrain:
All glory, laud, and honor,
to thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.

1 Thou art the King of Israel,
thou David's royal Son,
who in the Lord's name comest,
the King and Blessed One.
[Refrain]

2 The company of angels
are praising thee on high,
and we with all creation
in chorus make reply.
[Refrain]

3 The people of the Hebrews
with palms before thee went;
our prayer and praise and anthems
before thee we present.
[Refrain]

4 To thee, before thy passion,
they sang their hymns of praise;
to thee, now high exalted,
our melody we raise.
[Refrain]

5 Thou didst accept their praises;
accept the prayers we bring,
who in all good delightest,
thou good and gracious King.
[Refrain]

Welcome

*Call to Worship

Jen Brizendine

Leader: On this day, Jesus marched
All: in between the city walls and the Temple,
in between joyful Hosannas and doubtful whispers,
in between oppressive poverty and greedy power,
in between rampant fear and hope unfurled.
Leader: On this day, Jesus marched in between what had been and what could be.
All: So may we meet Christ in that liminal space.
May we lay down our coats in that messy middle.
Leader: Hosanna in the highest!
All: Hosanna in between!

*Opening Hymn

Hosanna, Loud Hosanna

Jennette Threlfall

During our opening hymn, you are invited to come forward

and add your palm branches to the cross on the Chancel.

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 victor 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!

The Psalm

Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29

Children's Moments

Jesus Loves the Little Children

George Frederick Root and Clare Herbert Woolston

Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world.
Morning, evening, day and night,
They are precious in His sight -
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

*Hymn

All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name

Edward Perronet, John Rippon, and Oliver Holden

1 All hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all.

2 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
ye ransomed from the fall,
hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all.
Hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all.

3 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget
the wormwood and the gall,
go spread your trophies at his feet,
and crown him Lord of all.
Go spread your trophies at his feet,
and crown him Lord of all.

4 Let every kindred, every tribe
on this terrestrial ball,
to him all majesty ascribe,
and crown him Lord of all.
To him all majesty ascribe,
and crown him Lord of all.

5 Crown him, ye martyrs of your God,
who from his altar call;
extol the Stem of Jesse's Rod,
and crown him Lord of all.
Extol the Stem of Jesse's Rod,
and crown him Lord of all.

6 O that with yonder sacred throng
we at his feet may fall!
We'll join the everlasting song,
and crown him Lord of all.
We'll join the everlasting song,
and crown him Lord of all.

*The Gospel Reading

Luke 19:29-40

Message

Everything [in] Between: Shouting & Silence

Pastor Angie

Affirmation of Faith

All: We believe that many years ago
a peaceful parade wove its way through the streets of Jerusalem.
We believe that on that day
the people cried out,
longing and praying for a better world.
We believe that these longings
came from a place of deep hope,
and we believe
that hope cannot be silenced.
So we listen for the Spirit.
We sing Hosanna.
We pay attention.
For in between the silence and the song,
we believe the Spirit is speaking.
Amen.

*Closing Hymn

Who Is He?

Edward Hodges, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Ken Bible

1 Who is He who comes in triumph?
Who is He who comes to die,
Comes in peace and comes in power,
Hidden One now lifted high?
Jesus, Jesus, Lord, Messiah,
Mighty master of the grave!
See Him ride, the King of Glory!
God Himself has come to save!

2 See Him there in humble splendor.
Hear them shouting all around.
Joy explodes in wild procession.
Praise is now the victor's crown.
"Glory, glory in the highest!"
Like the angels hear them sing,
Dancing round the Long-awaited -
Once their hope, and now their King.

3 Rise and join the glad procession!
Hear them passing by again -
All the ransomed, all His children,
Marching to Jerusalem!
Look ahead the gates of splendor!
Hear the everlasting hymn!
Open wide Your hearts in worship!
Let the King of Glory in!
