Composer: | John Frederick Wolle |
1 Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
Hear all the tribes hosanna cry;
O Savior meek, your road pursue,
with palms and scattered garments strewed.
2 Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
O Christ, your triumphs now begin
o’er captive death and conquered sin.
3 Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
The winged armies of the sky
look down with sad and wond'ring eyes
to see the approaching sacrifice.
4 Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
Your 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 your meek head to mortal pain,
then take, O God, your power and reign!
