Author: Henry Hart Milman (1791-1868) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #182 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 118 First Line: Ride on, ride on in majesty! Lyrics: 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.
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-squadrons of the sky
look down with sad and wondering eyes
to see the approaching sacrifice.
4 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Thy 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 thy meek head to mortal pain,
then take, O God, thy power, and reign. Topics: Sunday of the Passion; Palm Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW
