Youths
See, the conqu'ring hero comes!
Sound the trumpets, beat the drums.
Sports prepare, the laurel bring,
Songs of triumph to him sing.
Virgins
See the godlike youth advance!
Breathe the flutes, and lead the dance;
Myrtle wreaths, and roses twine,
To deck the hero's brow divine.
Israelites
See, the conqu'ring hero comes!
Sound the trumpets, beat the drums.
Sports prepare, the laurel bring,
Songs of triumph to him sing.
See, the conqu'ring hero comes!
Sound the trumpets, beat the drums.

Tochter Zion, freue dich,
jauchze laut, Jerusalem!
Sieh, dein König kommt zu dir,
ja er kommt, der Friedefürst.
Tochter Zion, freue dich,
jauchze laut, Jerusalem!

Hosianna, Davids Sohn,
sei gesegnet deinem Volk!
Gründe nun dein ewig Reich,
Hosianna in der Höh!
Hosianna, Davids Sohn,
sei gesegnet deinem Volk!

Hosianna, Davids Sohn,
sei gegrüßet, König mild!
Ewig steht dein Friedensthron,
du, des ewgen Vaters Kind.
Hosianna, Davids Sohn,
sei gegrüßet, König mild!
