Palm Sunday - 2010

Last year on Palm Sunday I posted the legend of the donkey's cross along with a photo illustration from one of our donkeys. If you missed that, you can click HERE to see it.

In keeping with that, here are the words to a Lenten hymn written by Almer T. Pennewell.

So Lowly Doth the Savior Ride

So lowly doth the Savior ride
A paltry borrowed beast,
Nor pomp, nor show, nor lofty pride,
Nor boast above the least.

His scepter is his kindliness,
His grandeur is his grace,
His royalty is holiness,
And love is in his face.

'Tis thus the great Messiah came
To break the tyrants' will,
To heal the people of their shame,
And nobleness instill.

Ride on, O King, ride on your way,
While men of low degree
Exalt and usher in the day
Of peace we long to see.
