Text:Ride On, King Jesus
Tune:[I was but young when I begun]

77. Ride On, King Jesus

Refrain:
Ride on, King Jesus,
No man can a-hinder me,
Ride on, King Jesus, ride on,
No man can a-hinder me.

1 I was young when I begun,
No man can a-hinder me,
But now my race is almost done,
No man can a-hinder me. [Refrain]

2 King Jesus rides on a milk-white horse,
No man can a-hinder me;
The river of Jordan he did cross,
No man can a-hinder me. [Refrain]

3 If you want to find your way to God,
No man can a-hinder me;
The gospel highway must be trod,
No man can a-hinder me. [Refrain]
