1. Ride on, ride on in majesty! Hear all the tribes hosanna cry; O Savior meek, pursue Your road with palms and scattered garments strowed.
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 host of angels in the sky look down with sad and wond’ring eyes to see th’approaching Sacrifice.
4. Ride on, ride on in majesty! Your 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 Your meek head to mortal pain, then take, O Christ, Your pow'r and reign.
