Sheet music
- 1Ride on, ride on in majesty!Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry;O Savior meek, pursue Thy roadWith palms and scattered garments strowed.Ride on, ride on in majesty!In lowly pomp ride on to die:O Christ, Thy triumphs now beginO’er captive death and conquered sin.
- 2Ride on, ride on in majesty!The winged squadrons of the skyLook down with sad and wond’ring eyesTo see th’approaching sacrifice.Ride on, ride on in majesty!Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh;The Father on His sapphire throneExpects His own anointed Son.
- 3Ride 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.Amen.
