Ride On! Ride On in Majesty!

Words: Henry Hart Milman · Music: WINCHESTER NEW, from Musikalisches Handbuch (Hamburg, 1690), 1690

1

Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry;
O Savior meek pursue Thy road
With palms and scattered garments strewed.

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 angel armies of the sky
Look down with sad and wond'ring eyes
To see th'approaching sacrifice.

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.

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 pow'r and reign.
