Author: Henry Hart Milman (1791-1868) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #161b (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 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 wingèd squadrons of the sky
look down with sad and wondering eyes
to see the approaching sacrifice.
4 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
The last and fiercest strife is nigh:
the Father on his sapphire throne
awaits 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. Topics: Angels; Children and All-Age Worship; Church Year Palm Sunday; Church Year Good Friday; God in majesty; Palm Sunday Year C; Palm Sunday Scripture: Psalm 45:4 Languages: English Tune Title: ST DROSTANE
