hymnal 8
1 Holy, holy, holy; Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and migthy!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
2 Holy, holy, holy, all the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be
3 Holy, holy, holy! Tho' the darkness hide Thee,
Tho' the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only, Thou art Holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.
4 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity! Amen.

response reading 129. Palm Sunday
PERS: Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion!
CONG: Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem!
PERS: See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation,
CONG: gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
PERS: I will take away the chariots from Ephraim and the war-horses from Jerusalem,
CONG: and the battle bow will be broken. He will proclaim peace to the nations.
PERS: His rule will extend from sea to sea
CONG: and from the River to the ends of the earth.
PERS: The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted.
CONG: "Hosanna to the Son of David!"
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the highest!"

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ,
His only Son our Lod, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Hymnal 1
Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below;

hymnal 141
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 men and angels rode on in lowly state,
nor scorned that little children should on His biding 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! amen.

Mark 11:1-10
1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,
2 saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
3 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' tell him, 'The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.' "
4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it,
5 some people standing there asked, "What are you doing, untying that colt?"
6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go.
7 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it.
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields.
9 Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, "Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
10 "Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!" "Hosanna in the highest!"


hymnal 150
1 On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suff'ring and shame;
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown.
2 Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above To bear it to dark Calvary.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown
3 In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, A wondrous beauty I see,
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, To pardon and sanctify me.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown
4 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true; Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me someday to my home far away, Where His glory forever I'll share.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown'
