1. Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes Hosanna cry;
0 Saviour meek, pursue thy road
With palms and scatter'd 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 conquer'd sin.
3. Ride on! ride on in majesty!
The Angel watchers of the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes
To see th' approaching sacrifice.
4. Ride on! ride on in majesty!
The last and fiercest strife is nigh:
The Father on the heavenly throne
Awaits 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, 0Lord, thy power, and reign.
