Ride on, ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
O Christ, thy triumphs now begin
O’er captive death and conquered sin.
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Your last and fiercest strife is nigh.
The Father on His sapphire throne
awaits His own anointed Son.
Ride on, ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die,
bow Your meek head to mortal pain,
then take, O Christ, Your pow’r and reign.
— Henry Hart Milman1

Love the old songs best. They preach Life! Ride on, my beloved Pastor!
I would wish these hymns might be ‘resurrected’ for a new generation to steep it in life-giving doctrine! Hallelujah, Marie, I’m happy you share the sentiment!
