Ride on, ride on in majesty

(one verse introduction)

Ride on, ride on in majesty,
see all the crowd 'hosannah' cries.
See, Jesus now persues the road
with palms and scattered garments strewed.

Ride on, ride on! In majesty,
in lowly pomp ride on to die.
O Christ, your triumphs now began
to conquer death, new life to win.

Ride on, ride on! In majesty,
in lowly pomp ride on to die;
bow your meek head in mortal pain,
then, take, O God, your pow'r and reign.
