26. 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.

Refrain:
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.

2 Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
The angel armies of the sky
Look down with sad and wond’ring eyes
To see th’approaching sacrifice. [Refrain]

3 Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh;
The Father, on His sapphire throne,
Awaits His own anointed Son. [Refrain]

4 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. [Refrain]
