Who is seated on a Cherubic Throne in Heaven, and on a colt for us on earth, is now approaching His deliberate Passion, and today hears the Children shouting: Hosanna! And crying out, the multitude begins to shout: O Son of David! O Blessed Jesus, we pray be quick to come and Save us whom Thou made. For this is why Thou came to earth, so that we might know Thy Glory.

Thou were about to enter the Holy City, O Lord, the people were waving branches of trees, singing hymns to Thee, Master of all things. While seeing Thee seated upon the donkeys colt, they pictured Thee riding upon Cherubim. So they cried aloud: Hosanna in the Highest! Blessed art Thou Who comes, and who will come again, in the Name of the Lord. Him with timbrel and dance; praise Him with strings and flute. out, O Nations! Come out, O People! Behold the King of Heaven on this day, as though on a lofty Throne, yet on a lowly colt, riding into Jerusalem. Judean generation, O faithless and adulterous, come and behold Him Whom Isaiah saw, Who for us is present in the Flesh. See how He weds Himself to the New Zion as One Chaste, and separates Himself from the censured assembly. As to a wedding untainted and undefiled, do undefiled children, unclaimed by evil, rush, acclaiming. With them singing praises, let us cry our the Angelic Hymn: Hosanna in the Highest to Thee, Who possesses Great Mercy! praise Him with loud cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
