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 th' approaching sacrifice. 4 Ride on! ride on in majesty! Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh; The Father on His sapphire throne Expects 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. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. DROSTANE

A thousand years have come and gone

Author: Rev. Thomas Toke Lynch Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Birth Lyrics: 1 A thousand years have come and gone, And near a thousand more, Since happier light from heaven shone Than ever shone before; And in the hearts of old and young A joy most joyful stirred, That sent such news from tongue to tongue As ears had never heard. 2 Then angels on their starry way Felt bliss unfelt before, For news that men should be as they, To darkened earth they bore; So toiling men and spirits bright A first communion had, And in meek mercy's rising light Were each exceeding glad. 3 And we are glad, and we will sing, As in the days of yore; Come all, and hearts made ready bring, To welcome back once more The day when first on wintry earth A summer change began, And, dawning in a lowly birth, Uprose the Light of man. 4 For trouble such as men must bear From childhood to fourscore, He shared with us, that we might share His joy for evermore; And twice a thousand years of grief, Of conflict, and of sin, May tell how large the harvest sheaf His patient love shall win. Amen. Used With Tune: NOEL
