Author: Henry H. Milman Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #191 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Jesus Christ Palm Sunday; God Known in Jesus Christ Palm Sunday; Christian Year: Palm Sunday Lyrics: 1 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
As all the crowds hosanna cry;
through waving branches slowly ride,
O Savior, to be crucified.
2 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
O Christ, your triumph now begin
o'er captive death and conquered sin.
3 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
The angel armies of the sky
look down with sad and wondering eyes
to see the approaching sacrifice.
4 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Your last and fiercest foe defy;
bow your meek head to mortal pain,
then take, O God, your power and reign. Scripture: John 12:12-13 Languages: English Tune Title: CANONBURY
Ride On, Ride On in Majesty!
