57. No Tramp of Soldiers’ Marching Feet CWS #716 Verses 1-4 Text: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Setting: NO TRAMP OF SOLDIERS’ MARCHING FEET Tune: David W. Music, b. 1949

58. Verse 1: No tramp of soldiers’ marching feet With banners and with drums, No sound of music’s martial beat: “The King of glory comes!” To greet what pomp of kingly pride No bells in triumph ring, No city gates swing open wide: “Behold, behold your King!”

59. Verse 2: And yet he comes. The children cheer; With palms his path is strown. With ev’ry step the cross draws near: The King of glory’s throne. Astride a colt he passes by As loud hosannas ring, Or else the very stones would cry, “Behold, behold your King!”

60. Verse 3: What fading flow’rs his road adorn; The palms, how soon laid down! No bloom or leaf but only thorn The King of glory’s crown. The soldiers mock, the rabble cries. The streets with tumult ring, As Pilate to the mob replies, “Behold, behold your King!”

61. Verse 4: Now he who bore for mortals’ sake The cross and all its pains And chose a servant’s form to take, The King of glory reigns. Hosanna to the Savior’s name Till heaven’s rafters ring, And all the ransomed host proclaim, “Behold, behold your King!”
