Here’s a “new” song for Palm Sunday from Paul Wigmore/Jubilate Hymns. The tune is the traditional song “Sing Hosanna” (“Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning…”) which many congregations will already know.
You can find a full music score on the Jubilate website here. You will need to register for the site first, but registration (and all the resources on the site) are free.
There’s a Man Riding In On a Donkey
There’s a man riding in on a donkey,
there’s a man, and they say he’s king!
And the palm leaves are waving a welcome
and the voices of the people sing:
Sing hosanna! Sing hosanna! Sing hosanna to the King of kings!
Sing hosanna! Sing hosanna! Sing hosanna to the King!
Why a king riding in on a donkey?
Why a king wearing no fine crown?
Where the drums? Where the high-sounding cymbals
if a king is riding into town?
Sing hosanna . . .
Hear the voice of the King on a donkey!
Hear the joy of the news he brings!
He is Jesus, the Son of the Highest.
He is Jesus and the King of kings!
Sing hosanna . . .
