Palm Sunday 2013 - Procession into the church скачать видео бесплатно

Palm Sunday, March 24, 2013, at the Church of Saint Mary the Virgin ("Smoky Mary's"), Times Square, New York City. After exiting the church, processing around Times Square singing the hymn "All glory, laud and honour" and distributing palms, the ministers and congregation gather at the West doors. The procession recalls Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, as described in all four of the canonical Gospels.

The Choir and congregation sing the hymn "Ride on, ride on in majesty" to the magnificent tune by English/Canadian composer Graham George (1912-1993), written in 1939. The fanfare and arrangement is by James Kennerley, Music Director and Organist at Saint Mary the Virgin.

According to John Mason Neale, the translator of "All glory, laud and honour", "ano­ther verse was usu­al­ly sung un­til the 17th Cen­tu­ry, at the quaint­ness of which we can scarce­ly avoid a smile":

Be Thou, O Lord, the Rider,

And we the little ass,

That to God's holy city

Together we may pass.
