Ride on, ride on in majesty

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 
with captured 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,
in lowly pomp ride on to die. 
Bow your meek head to mortal pain, 
then take, O God, your pow'r and reign.
