All Glory, Laud and Honor hymn was written by St Theodulf of Orleans while imprisoned in the cloisters of Angers, France in 820. It was originally written in Latin under the title, 'Gloria, laus et honor'. The English version is a translation by John Mason Neale.
Although sung at other times this hymn is usually sung as a Palm Sunday hymn. It beautifully captures the spontaneous joy which greeted the King of Kings as he triumphantly rode into Jerusalem
It is based on Matthew 21:1-11 although reference to 'palm' follows the Biblical version of John's Gospel since both in the gospels of Matthew and Mark the crowd use branches from the trees.

All Glory, Laud and Honor hymn lyrics:-
| Refrain: All glory, laud, and honor to thee, Redeemer, King! to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring. Thou art the King of Israel, thou David's royal Son, who in the Lord's Name comest, the King and Blessed One. Refrain The company of angels are praising thee on high; and mortal men and all things created make reply. Refrain The people of the Hebrews with palms before thee went; our praise and prayer and anthems before thee we present. Refrain To thee before thy passion they sang their hymns of praise; to thee, now high exalted, our melody we raise. Refrain Thou didst accept their praises; accept the prayers we bring, who in all good delightest thou good and gracious King. Refrain  |
