Apolytikion for Palm Sunday
By raising Lazaros from the dead before Thy Passion, Thou didst confirm the universal resurrection O Christ God. Like the children with the palms of victory we cry unto Thee. O vanquisher of death, Hosanna in the highest, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.

Apolytikion for Palm Sunday
As by baptism we were buried with Thee, O Christ our God, so by Thy Resurrection we were deemed worthy of immortal life; and praising Thee, we cry: Hosanna in the highest; blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord. - Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery

Kontakion
In Heaven, He is seated upon a Throne and on earth He rides upon a foal. O Christ our God, accept the praise of the Angels and the hymn of the Children who cry out to You, "Blessed are You who comes to recall Adam." - Translation by Narthex Press
