"All Glory, Laud, and Honor" (LSB 442) tells of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and has been sung since the 9th century. The hymn is an acclamation of praise to Jesus, who is both Redeemer and King.
In stanza one, Jesus is the King who comes into Jerusalem in fulfillment of Psalm 24 and Psalm 118 "who comes in the name of the LORD." In stanza two, the chorus of angels join with the voice of the Church in praise. This leaves no confusion, Jesus is the King of glory. Stanza three declares that as the Palm Sunday crowd adorned the Lord's procession with palms, we worship the King with "our praise and prayer and anthems." Stanza four acknowledges where the King's pilgrimage will end at the cross. The cross is where the earthly procession terminates, and the King's eternal victory begins. This is confirmed and revealed through Christ's resurrection. Stanza five concludes with a prayer that Jesus would receive our prayers and praises as He received those of the throng.
Through the Redeemer King Jesus - by His death and resurrection - all who trust in Him alone as Lord receive forgiveness of sins, life and salvation, all by grace through faith in Him alone!
