Ride On! Ride on in Majesty!
"And in thy majesty ride prosperously." - Ps 45:4
VERSE 1
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes 'Hosanna!' cry;
O Saviour meek, pursue Thy road
With palms and scatter'd garments strow'd.
VERSE 2
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
Oh Christ, Thy triumphs now begin
O'er captives death and conquer'd sin.
VERSE 3
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
The winged squadrons of the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes
To see approaching sacrifice.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 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.
