See, from Bethany Advancing

Verse 1

See from Bethany advancing Joyful throngs by Jesus led; Loud hosannas rend the heavens, Garments rich His pathway spread; Shout, ye saints! your triumph sing; Blessed is the coming King, Blessed is the coming King.

Verse 2

Now the sacred gates are lifted, Zion’s King is passing through; All the glory of the city And the temple rise to view. Zion, shout! your Saviour own, David’s Son, on David’s throne, David’s Son, on David’s throne.

Verse 3

Sad, ah, sad the changeful morrow, Bitter scorn for ardent praise; They who’d build a throne of splendor, Now a cruel cross upraise. Yet, O Zion, triumph sing! Christ betrayed is Saviour, King, Christ betrayed is Saviour, King.

Verse 4

See! the temple veil is rending, Mountains quake, the dead arise, Darkness hides the day’s full glory, Lightnings fill the black-ended skies. Still, O Zion, triumph sing! Christ, tho’ crucified, is King, Christ, tho’ crucified, is King.

Verse 5

From His lowly tomb are rolling Sealéd rock and midnight gloom; O’er the realm of death victorious, Christ, the risen Lord, has come. Shout, ye ransomed! praises sing, Christ, the risen Lord, is King, Christ, the risen Lord, is King.
