A cheering chanting dizzy crowd

The text of this Palm Sunday piece by one of my favorite recent hymnists, Thomas Troeger, is set to Morning Song as #193 in the Chalice Hymnal. It is paired on the page with #192, "All glory, laud, and honor", and it seems to me it provides a useful antidote to the usual palm-waving triumphalism of the day.

It is dated 1985, and is © 1985 by Oxford University Press (OUP).

Tune suggestions? (It's CM, so there are tons of possibilities I haven't tried.)
