Hymn 195

Ride on! Ride on in majesty!

Ma gẹṣin lọ l’ọlanla Re

English Yorùbá
Meter L.M (8.8.8.8) Ojo 'simi Ope
  1. Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
    Hark! all the tribes Hosanna cry;
    O Saviour meek, pursue Thy road
    With palms and scatter’d garments strow’d.

  2. 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.

  3. Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
    The angel-squadrons of the sky
    Look down with sad and wondering eyes
    To see the approaching sacrifice.

  4. Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
    Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh;
    The Father on his sapphire throne
    Expects his own anointed Son.

  5. 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. Amin.
