1 Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Hear all the tribes hosanna cry;
O Savior meek, your road pursue
With palms and scattered garments strewed.
2 Ride on! ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
O Christ, your triumphs now begin
O'er captive death and conquered sin.
3 Ride on! ride on in majesty!
The hosts of angels in the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes
To see the approaching sacrifice.
4 Ride on! ride on, in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
Bow your meek head to mortal pain,
Then take, O Christ, your power, and reign.
