Triumphal Entry
Author: Dwight M. Pratt Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: See from Bethany advancing Lyrics: 1. See from Bethany advancing
Joyful throngs by Jesus led;
Loud hosannas rend the heavens,
Garments rich His pathway spread;
Shout, ye saints! your triumph sing!
Blessèd is the coming king!
2. Now the sacred gates are lifted,
Zion’s king is passing through.
All the glory of the city
And the temple rise to view;
Zion, shout, your Savior own,
David’s Son, on David’s throne!
3. King of peace, Jehovah’s chosen!
King with highest glory crowned!
Honored by the hosts of Heaven,
By the earthly Zion owned.
Take Thy scepter, rule the throng
Praising Thee with hallowed song!
4. Sad, ah, sad the changeful morrow,
Bitter scorn for ardent praise;
They who’d build a throne of glory,
Now a cruel cross upraise.
Yet, O Zion, triumph sing!
Christ betrayed is Savior, king! Used With Tune: TAUNTON Text Sources: Hymns of Christian Endeavor, edited by S. W. Adriance (Boston, Massachusetts: The United Society of Christian Endeavor, 1888), number 31

Herdsmen Keeping Lonely Vigil
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Herdsmen keeping lonely vigil
While the earth in slumber lay;
Eager scanned the far horizon,
For the coming of the day;
And a blaze of heavenly light,
Rent the curtains of the night.
2 Never shone a morn so radiant
Since creation had its birth,
And the orb of day in fullness
Shed its primal light on earth,
And the morning stars abroad,
Triumphed with the sons of God.
3 Stay your coming, dawn and sunrise,
For a Sun of high renown
Pours His light upon our darkness,
And this Orb shall ne’er go down;
Now Immanuel, Christ our Lord,
Dwells on earth, Incarnate Word.
Lift your eyes, ye lonely watchers,
See the host in raiment white;
List, the strains of heavenly music
Mingling with transcendent light;
Ne’er such music waked a morn;
Sons of men! the Christ is born.
4 Weary hearts that dwell in darkness!
Cast your dismal fears away;
Lo, the Sun on earth is shining,
For the morn has risen today,
And the light that hailed His birth,
Pours its glory on the earth. Used With Tune: TAUNTON Text Sources: Hymns of the Early Church by John Brownlie (London: Morgan & Scott, 1913
