I. “Ride on, ride on in majesty” | | By Henry Hart Milman (1791–1868) |
| | | RIDE on, ride on in majesty; | |
| Hark, all the tribes Hosanna cry; | |
| Thine humble beast pursues his road, | |
| With palms and scattered garments strewed. | |
| |
| Ride on, ride on in majesty; | 5 |
| In lowly pomp ride on to die: | |
| O Christ, Thy triumphs now begin | |
| O’er captive death and conquer’d sin. | |
| |
| Ride on, ride on in majesty; | |
| The wingèd squadrons of the sky | 10 |
| Look down with sad and wondering eyes | |
| To see the approaching Sacrifice. | |
| |
| Ride on, ride on in majesty; | |
| Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh: | |
| The Father on His sapphire throne | 15 |
| Awaits His own anointed Son! | |
| |
| Ride on, ride on in majesty; | |
| In lowly pomp ride on to die; | |
| Bow Thy meek Head to mortal pain, | |
| Then take, O God, Thy power and reign. | 20 | | | |
