Hymn 287
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Meter: L.M.
Scripture: Psalm 45:4
1
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes Hosanna! cry;
O Saviour meek, pursue Thy road,
With palms and scattered garments strow’d.
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 conquer’d sin.
3
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
The winged 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
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 power, and reign.
