Author: Henry Hart Milman (1791-1868) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #365 (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes 'Hosanna!' cry;
O Saviour meek, pursue thy road
with palms and scattered 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 winged squadrons of the sky
look down with sad and wondering eyes
to see the approaching sacrifice.
4 Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Thy 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 thy meek head to mortal pain,
then take, O God, thy power, and reign. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Palm (Passion) Sunday Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:24-26 Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW (CRASSELIUS)
