The Words

1All glory, laud, and honour

To Thee, Redeemer, King!

To Whom the lips of children

Made sweet Hosannas ring,

All glory, &c.

2Thou art the King of Israel,

Thou David's Royal Son,

Who in the Lord's Name comest,

The King and Blessèd One.

All glory, &c.

3The company of Angels

Are praising Thee on high,

And mortal men, and all things

Created make reply.

All glory, &c.

4The people of the Hebrews

With palms before Thee went

Our praise and prayer and anthems

Before Thee we present.

All glory, &c.

5To Thee before Thy Passion

They sang their hymns of praise;

To Thee now high exalted

Our melody we raise.

All glory, &c.

6Thou didst accept their praises;

Accept the prayers we bring,

Who in all good delightest,

Thou good and gracious King.

All glory, &c.

Amen.

Where It Comes From

Read note by note from Hymns Ancient and Modern (Novello, London, 1861), and checked against the printed page. See that page in the scan of the book at the Internet Archive: open the page page 2.

First published in London in 1861. Every tune, harmony and text in it was printed by 1861, so all its writers died long before 1966, and the book is out of copyright in India and the USA.
