| Ride on in Majesty |
| | | Henry Hart Milman (1791–1868) |
| |
| |
| RIDE on! ride on in majesty! | |
| 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! | 5 |
| The winged armies of the sky | |
| Look down with sad and wondering eyes | |
| To see the approaching sacrifice. | |
| |
| Ride on! ride on in majesty! | |
| The last and fiercest strife is nigh; | 10 |
| The Father on his sapphire throne | |
| Expects his own anointed Son. | |
| |
| Ride on! ride on in majesty! | |
| In lowly pomp ride on to die; | |
| Bow thy meek head to mortal pain, | 15 |
| Then take, O God, thy power, and reign! | |
