595. Ride on! ride on in majesty!

1 Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes Hosanna cry!
O Saviour meek, pursue Thy road,
With palms and scattered garments strow'd

Chorus:
Ride on, ride on, ride on, ride on.
Hark! all the tribes, Hosanna cry!

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. [Chorus]

3 Ride on! ride on in majesty!
The angel armies of the sky
Look down with sad and wand'ring eyes
To see th' approaching sacrifice. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

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 pow'r, and reign. [Chorus]
