Lyrics
1. Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Hear all the tribes hosanna cry!
O Savior meek, pursue your road
With palms and scattered garments stroked.
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.
Ride on to die; ride on to die;
Then take, O Christ, your power and reign.
3. Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
The hosts of angels in the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes
To see th’approaching Sacrifice.
4. Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
Your 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 your meek head to mortal pain,
Then take, O Christ, your power and reign.
