Author: Henry Hart Milman (1791-1868) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 505 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Scripture: Exodus 24:10 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 winged 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 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, O God, thy power, and reign.

Thy love has veiled thy glory and hid thy power divine, in mercy to our weakness, beneath an earthly sign. 2 We hail thee now, O Jesus: in silence hast thou come, for all the hosts of heaven with wonderment are dumb -- so great the condescension, so marvellous the love, which for our sakes, O Saviour, have drawn thee from above. 3 We hail thee now, O Jesus: for law and type have ceased, and thou in each communion art sacrifice and priest. We make this great memorial in union, Lord, with thee, and plead thy death and passion to cleanse and set us free. 4 We hail thee now, O Jesus: for death is ever near, and in thy presence only its terrors disappear. Dwell with us, sweetest Saviour, and guide us through the night, till shadows end in glory. and faith be lost in sight.
