A Bundle of Myrrh

"My beloved is unto me as a bundle of myrrh." Song of Solomon 1:13

Sunday of the Passion

April 17th, 2011 by Aubri

“Behold, your King is coming to you,
Lowly, and sitting on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.’”

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

Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die.
O Christ, Thy triumphs now begin
O’er captive death and conquered sin.

Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
The angel armies of the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes
To see the approaching Sacrifice.

Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh;
The Father on His sapphire throne
Expects His own anointed Son.

I didn’t put them up to this, but knew I’d better get it on video.

“Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!’
Hosanna in the highest!

    Way to teach them while they’re young, Aubri. I’m so glad you caught that on film.

    The hymn you shared has become one of Joanna’s favorites.

    “Whose Anna?!” Ha ha, of course!

    Kristi – I love that hymn as well. Especially the line “In lowly pomp ride on to die.” That one always strikes me.
