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.
