Text:Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Author:Henry Hart Milman, 1791 - 1868
Tune:THE KING'S MAJESTY
Composer:Graham George, b. 1912

73b. 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 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 the 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.
