After the singing of the Lesson the following Responsory is sung
1. In monte Oliveti oravit ad Patrem: Pater, si fieri potest, transeat a me calix iste. Spiritus quidem promptus est Caro autem infirma: Fiat volutas tua.
2. Vigilate, et orate, orate, ut non intretis, intretis, intentationem.
After the Preface (with responses in ferial form, as at Requiem, see No. 259 (8)) the choir sings the Sanctus and Benedictus.
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua, Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini Hosanna in excelsis.
After a number of prayers and responses, at the distribution of Palms, the choir sings the following Antiphon.
Pueri Hebraeorum, portantes ramos olivarum, obviaverunt Domino, clamantes, et dicentes: Hosanna in excelsis.
Just before the Procession takes place the Deacon sings; "Procedamus in pace" the choir answers: "In nomine Christi. Amen." The following is then sung;
Cum Angelis et pueris fideles in veniamur, triumphatori mortis clamantes: Hosanna in excelsis.
When the procession has reached the portal of the Church two or four chanters enter and, facing the door begin the "Gloria Laus;" the clergy and singers outside repeat the verse. Chanters sing each new stanza while the singers outside repeat the "Gloria Laus". At the end of the last stanza the procession enters the church the music being changed to "Ingrediente."
1. Gloria, laus, et honor, tibi sit Rex Christi Redemptor: Cui puerile decus prompsit Hosanna pium.
2. Israel es tu Rex, Davidis et inclyta proles: Nomine qui in Domini, Rex benedicte, venis
3. Coetus in excelsis te laudat Coelicus omnis Et mortalis homo, et cuncta creata simul.
4. Plebs Hebraea tibi cum palmis obvia venit: Cum prece, voto, hymnis, adsumus ecce tibi.
5. Hi tibi passuro solvebant munia laudis: Nos tibi regnanti, pangimus ecce melos.
6. Hi placuere tibi, placeat devotio nostra; Rex bone, Rex clemens, cui bona cuncta placent.
1. Ingrediente Domino in sanctam civitatem, Hebraeorum pueri, resurrectionem vitae pronuntiantes. Cum ramis palmarum Hosanna clamabunt in excelsis.
2. Cumque audisset popolus quod Jesus veniret, Jerosolymam, exierunt obviam ei. Cum ramis palmarum Hosanna clamabunt in excelsis.
