Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
Hark all the tribes Hosanna cry:
Thy humble beast pursues his road
with palms
and scattered garments strowed.

Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die:
O Christ the triumph now begin
o'er captive death and conquered sin.

Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
The winged squadrons of the sky
look down with sad and won'dring eyes
to see th'approaching sacrifice.

Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
The last and fiercest strife is nigh:
Thy father
on his sapphire throne
awaits his own annointed 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

All glory, laud, and honour
to Thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.

Thou art the King of Israel,
Thou David's royal son
who in the Lord's name comest
The king and blessed one.

All glory, laud, and honour
to Thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.

The company of angels
are praising thee on high
and mortals joined with all things
created make reply.

All glory, laud, and honour
to Thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.

The people of the Hebrews
with palms before thee went;
our praise and prayer and anthems
before thee we present.

All glory, laud, and honour
to Thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.

To thee before thy passion
they sang their hymns of praise;
to thee now high exalted
our melody we raise.

All glory, laud, and honour
to Thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.

Thou didst accept their praises,
accept the prayers we bring
who in all good delightest
thou good and gracious king.

All glory, laud, and honour
to Thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
Made sweet hosannas ring.

Benedictus, Benedictus,
Benedictus qui venit
Qui venit in nomine Domini
Benedictus qui venit
Qui venit in nomine Domini.
Benedictus qui venit
qui venit in nomine Domini
in nomine Domini.

Hosanna, Hosanna
Hosanna, Hosanna,
Hosanna in excelsis.
Hosanna
in excelsis
Hosanna, Hosanna.
Hosanna in excelsis.
