259a. Ride on! ride on in majesty!

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 last and fiercest strive is nigh;
The Father on His sapphire throne
Awaits His own anointed Son.

3 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.

Amen.
