176. Ride On, Ride On In Majesty

1 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Hark, all the tribes "Hosanna!" cry!
O Saviour meek, pursue Thy road
With palms and scatter'd 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 angel armies of the sky
Look down with sad and wond'ring eyes
To see th' approaching sacrifice.

4 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Thy last and fiercest strive 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.
