A New PALMARUM Hymn - - -

   The reason that so many of my hymn lyrics are set to the Old Hundredth is that it is the only tune that I can (sort of, kind of, sidways) sing on key. 

   This is for our upcoming Last Sunday of Lententide.

CAME CHRIST THE LORD to DAVID’S HOME

Words: Jay W. Watson

Tune: Old Hundredth

 

Came Christ the Lord to David’s home

Came God for sinners to atone

True Lamb Paschal on Calv’ry slain

Our Savior’s Throne and Holy reign

He did the meek young donkey bore

He rode on vestments strewn before

Hear Him receive the peoples laud

Our Jesus Christ the pierced God

Sing praise to this pure servant Son

Sing for His vict’ry to be done

Seek Him amongst His pilgrim throng

Greet rabbi king with joyous song

All palms laud Him this sacred day

All saints in Supper feed we pray

Praise Father Son and Spirit be

Hosanna to the One in Three
