Ride on, ride on in majesty!

Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry;
A D A E
O Savior meek, pursue your road
A E A
with palms and scattered garments strowed.

Ride on, ride on in majesty!

In lowly pomp ride on to die.
A D A E
O Christ, your triumphs now begin
A E A
o’er captive death and conquered sin.
[Verse 3]
A D E A
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
D E
The winged squadrons of the sky
A D A E
look down with sad and won-d’ring eyes
A E A
to see th’approaching sacri-fice.
[Verse 4]
A D E A
Ride on, ride on in majesty!

Your last and fiercest strife is nigh;
A D A E
the Father on his sapphire throne
A E A
expects his own anointed Son.
