The Day of Choice

Fair the slopes of 0livet
Under sunset skies.
Like jewel richly set,
David's city lies.
Down the road from Bethany
Pours joyous throng.
On a royal ass rides he
Whom they hail with song.
Palms they wave beside his way,
Cloaks before him fling
BLESSED he who comes today
Master, Saviour, Kingp
Through the eager pilgrim press.
Toward the gate and through,
Rides the one whose name they
bless.
What comes he to dot
Comes King to claim his throne,
In a kingdom fair7
Lo, he seeks a place alone
For an hour of prayer!
Shall he take a rank today
Such as they acclaimi
Can he crush the hopes that they
Build upon his namei
Who can know tho prayer he
prays
In the place apart
Who can know what passion sweys
All the while his hearti
From the temple, 10, comes he,
And his face is set
Back again toward Bethany,
Over 0livet.
In the pilgrim host, dismay
And sense of loss,
And the one who rides away
Sees afar a cross!
Yet the choice that they decried-
How the ages ring:
BLESSED who was crucifed-
Saviour, Master, KingW
