6 inspirational songs for Palm Sunday
'All Glory, Laud and Honor'
The hymn “All Glory, Laud, and Honor” was written by Bishop Theodolph of France circa 820 as he was imprisoned by King Louis I over allegedly plotting against the monarch.
Theodolph originally wrote 78 verses or 39 couplets for the sacred song, which, according to legend, led to his eventual release from prison.
“According to the legend, King Louis visited Angers, where Theodolph was imprisoned, and heard Theodolph singing this hymn in his cell as a part of his daily worship,” noted Sermon Writer. “Moved by the beauty of the hymn, the king pardoned Theodolph and had him released from prison.”
