Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes Hosanna cry!
O Saviour meek pursue thy road,
With palms and scattered garments strowed.
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.
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
The angel armies of the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes,
To see the approaching sacrifice.
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh:
Bow thy meek head to mortal pain;
Then take, O God, thy power, and reign!
(Henry Hart Milman)
