Author: Henry Hart Milman, 1791-1868 Hymnal: Together in Song #348 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: John 12:12-19 Lyrics: 1 Ride on, ride on in majesty;
hark, all the tribes hosanna cry!
O Saviour meek, pursue your road
with palms and scattered garments strowed.
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 squadrons of the sky
look down with sad and wondering 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 Christ, your power and reign!
