Partnering the ELLACOMBE tune with the children's chorus "Praise Him, All Ye Little Children," this anthem sets the stage for a dramatic opening to the Palm Sunday celebration. Interspersing the children's song throughout reinforces the image of Jesus embracing the children as well as that of the children laying their palms before Him. The final stanza uses the children singing the "Praise Him!" chorus as an obbligato over the unison final stanza of "Hosanna" sung by choir and congregation, making for an exciting conclusion to this simple yet perfect portrayal of the Triumphal Entry.
