lutheranhymnsDid we just do one kind of similar?
Kind of. "All Glory, Laud, and Honor" also starts with a chorus and alternates between that and two-line couplet verses.
What else do they have in common?
I mean, that one I associate with the Palm Sunday procession, and this one I guess you could sing during any procession where someone is carrying a cross, which is normal at the beginning of service?
That's kind of a stretch.
The hymn tune name is "Crucifer" which refers to the role of the acolyte who carries the cross, so maybe not.
Who serves as acolytes?
In our church, it was nominally confirmation-age youth (7th-10th grade). But people who went regularly and/or looked youngish (me on both counts) often got drafted in years later on days when nobody shows up.
