Author: Henry Hart Milman Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 504 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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.
2 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
The angel armies of the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes
To see the approaching Sacrifice.
3 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Thy last and fiercest strive is nigh;
The Father on His sapphire throne
Expects His own anointed Son.
4 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. Topics: Passion Week Palm Sunday; Lent, Sixth Sunday; Lent, Sixth Sunday; Passion Week Used With Tune: ADELAIDE
