Ride On! Ride On In Majesty! : Lyrics
1. Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry;
O Saviour meek, pursue thy road
With palms and scattered garments strowed.
2 .Ride on! ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
O Christ, thy triumphs now begin
O’er captive death and conquered sin.
3. Ride on! ride on in majesty!
The angel-squadrons of the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes
To see the approaching sacrifice.
4. Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh;
The Father on his sapphire throne
Expects his own anointed Son.
5. Ride on! ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
Bow thy meek head to mortal pain,
Then take, O God, thy power, and reign.
