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!

Doane Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 499 hymnals Topics: Processionals Lyrics: 1 Fling out the banner! let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide; The sun that lights its shining folds, The Cross on which the Saviour died. 2 Fling out the banner! angels bend In anxious silence o'er the sign, And vainly seek to comprehend The wonder of the Love divine. 3 Fling out the banner! distant lands Shall see from far the glorious sight, And nations, crowding to be born, Baptize their spirits in its light. 4 Fling out the banner! sin-sick souls That sink and perish in the strife, Shall touch in faith its radiant hem And spring immortal into life. 5 Fling out the banner! let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide, Our glory, only in the cross; Our only hope, the Crucified! 6 Fling out the banner! wide and high, Seaward and skyward, let it shine: Nor skill, nor might, nor merit ours; We conquer only in that sign. Amen. Used With Tune: WALTHAM

Savior, blessed Saviour

Author: G. Thring Appears in 332 hymnals Topics: General Processionals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, blessed Saviour, Listen while we sing, Hearts and voices raising Praises to our King, All we have we offer; All we hope to be, Body, soul, and spirit, All we yield to Thee. 2 Nearer, ever nearer, Christ, we draw to Thee, Deep in adoration Bending low the knee: Thou for our redemption Cam'st on earth to die: Thou, that we might follow, Hast gone up on high. 3 Great, and ever greater Are Thy mercies here, True and everlasting Are the glories there; Where no pain, or sorrow, Toil, or care, is known, Where the angel legions Circle round Thy throne. 4 Clearer still, and clearer, Dawns the light from heaven, In our sadness bringing News of sins forgiven; Life has lost its shadows; Pure the light within; Thou hast shed Thy radiance On a world of sin. 5 Brighter still, and brighter, Glows the western sun, Shedding all its gladness O'er our work that's done; Time will soon be over, Toil and sorrow past, May we, blessed Saviour, Find a rest at last! 6 Onward, ever onward, Journeying o'er the road Worn by saints before us, Journeying on to God! Leaving all behind us, May we hasten on, Backward never looking Till the prize is won. 7 Bliss, all bliss excelling, When the ransomed soul, Earthly toils forgetting, Finds its promised goal; Where in joys unheard of Saints with angels sing, Never weary raising Praises to their King.
