442. Ride On! Ride On in Majesty

1 Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
Hear all the world Hosanna cry;
Your humble beast pursues his way
Where crowds their palms and garments lay.

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 angel host above the sky
Look down with sad and wond'ring eyes
To see th'approaching sacrifice.

4 Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
Bow your meek head to mortal pain,
Then show us, Christ, your pow'r and reign.
