As Jesus came riding along on a donkey

As Jesus came riding along on a donkey, 
the pavement was holy, he hallowed the ground.
The stones will cry out if the people are silent, 
a day filled with joy and with praising is found.

Then those who had followed and those who came after
sang loudly while waving their palms in the air;
these palms they laid down on the ground like a carpet, 
some joined celebration, while some stood to stare.

Verses 3-4 follow
Tune: STREETS OF LAREDO
Metre: 12.11.12.11
