On a little donkey, two-thousand years ago
Christ rode into Jerusalem, so all the world would know
He was fulfilling prophecy, and every one could sing
And worship the Savior, Messiah, and King
And they sang

Hosanna, Hosanna
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord
Hosanna, Hosanna
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord

All the people worshipped, the little children laughed
They took the palm leaves from the trees and laid
Them in His path
Their hearts were overflowing, their spirits came alive
Emanuel the Chosen One has finally arrived
And they sang
