Full Lyrics
VERSE 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.
REFRAIN
Ride on! in majesty!
Ride on! in majesty!
in lowly pomp, Ride on to die.
on to die.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 3
Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
The Winged squadrons of the sky
Look down with sad and wond'ring eyes
to see the approaching sacrifice.
VERSE 4
Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
The 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 pow'r, and reign.
