Hymn
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry:
O Savior meek, pursue Thy road
With palms and scattered garments strowed.
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
The angel armies of the sky
Look down with sad and wond'ring eyes,
To see th'approaching Sacrifice.
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
The last and fiercest strife is nigh:
The Father on His sapphire throne
Expects His own anointed Son.
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 pow'r and reign.
Amen.
