Ride on! ride on in majesty!

Author: Henry H. Milman Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 505 hymnals Lyrics: Ride on! ride on in majesty! Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry; O Savior meek, pursue thy road With palms and scattered garments strewed. 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. Ride on! ride on in majesty! The angel armies of the sky Look down with sad and wondering eyes To see the approaching sacrifice. Ride on! ride on in majesty! Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh; The Father on his sapphire throne Expects his own anointed Son. 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: Holy Week; Sunday Schools Palm Sunday Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW
