I RIDE on! ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes Hosanna cry :
O Saviour meek, pursue Thy road
With palms and scattered garments

strowed.

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 conquered sin. 3 Ride on ride on in majesty!

The angel armies of the sky
Look down with sad and wondering

eyes

To see the approaching sacrifice. 4 Ride on ride on in majesty!

The last and fiercest strife is nigh: The FATHER on His sapphire Throne Awaits 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.

141

I To Thee be glory, honor, praise, Jesus, Redeemer, Saviour, King! Inspired with joy at Thine approach, Thy children loud Hosannas sing.

2 Hail, Israel's King! Hail, David's Son!

Hail, Thou that in Jehovah's name Didst come Thy people to redeem, And comest now Thy crown to claim! 3 Then, in Thy way to Salem's courts, They met Thee with triumphal palms; Now, for Thy glad return we watch With longing prayers, and vows, and psalms.

4 Then, from the shouts of fickle joy Thou passedst to Thy cross, Thy

grave;

Now, from the dawn of endless day, We welcome Him that comes to save. 5 To Thee, Redeemer, Saviour, King, To Thee be glory, honor, praise! At Thine approach, with joy inspired, Thy children loud Hosannas raise.

I WAKE the song, O Zion's daughter,
Bid the glad Hosannas ring
Unto Him who brings salvation,
Our Redeemer and our King!
Glory be to Him who cometh

In the name of Israel's Lord;
Zion's children bid Thee welcome,
King of kings, Incarnate Word!
Hosanna in the highest!

2 As the children of the Hebrews
With their palms before Thee went,
So our praise, and prayers, and anthems,
Unto Thee we now present:
Thou wast hastening to Thy passion
When they woke the song of praise,
Thou art coming in Thy glory
While our melody we raise :

Hosanna in the highest!

3 Glory, honor, and salvation
To the Lamb our Ruler be!
Jesus Christ is our Redeemer,

So with songs we welcome Thee!
Thee, the company of angels

Praise and magnify on high, While with longing expectation All Thy saints Hosanna cry: Hosanna in the highest!

DOXOLOGY.

PRAISE the God of our salvation; Praise the Father's boundless love; Praise the Lamb, our expiation;

Praise the Spirit from above; Author of the new creation,

Him by whom our spirits live; Undivided adoration

To the One Jehovah give:

Hosanna in the highest!

4 All my sins against my God,
All my sins against His laws,
All my sins against His blood,
All my sins against His cause,
Sins as boundless as the sea-
Hide me, O Gethsemane !

5 Here's my claim, and here alone;
None a Saviour more can need;
Deeds of righteousness I've none;
Not a work that I can plead;
Not a glimpse of hope for me,—
Only in Gethsemane.

6 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
One Almighty God of love,
Praised by all the heavenly host,
In Thy shining courts above,
We poor sinners, Gracious Three,
Praise Thee for Gethsemane.

I BLOOD is the price of heaven;
All sin that price exceeds:
Oh, come to be forgiven;

He bleeds, my Saviour bleeds!

2 Under the olive boughs,

Falling like ruby beads,

The blood drops from His brows; He bleeds, my Saviour bleeds! 3 While the fierce scourges fall

The precious blood still pleads; In front of Pilate's hall

He bleeds, my Saviour bleeds!

4 Beneath the thorny crown

The crimson fountain speeds; See how it trickles down;

He bleeds, my Saviour bleeds!

5 Bearing the fatal wood,

His band of saints He leads,
Marking the way with blood;
He bleeds, my Saviour bleeds!

6 On Calvary His shame

With blood still intercedes ;
His open wounds proclaim

He bleeds, my Saviour bleeds!

7 He hangs upon the tree,

Hangs there for my misdeeds;
He sheds His blood for me;
He bleeds, my Saviour bleeds!

8 O sweet, O precious blood!

What love, what love it breeds! Ransom, Reward, and Food;

He bleeds, my Saviour bleeds!

I YE that pass by, behold the Man! The Man of Grief condemned for you, The Lamb of God for sinners slain, Weeping to Calvary pursue.

2 His sacred limbs they stretch, they tear, With nails they fasten to the wood; His sacred limbs! exposed and bare, Or only covered with His blood.

3 Behold His temples crowned with thorn, His bleeding hands extended wide, His streaming feet transfixed and torn, The fountain gushing from His side!

4 O Thou dear suffering Son of God, How doth Thy heart to sinners move! Sprinkle on us Thy precious blood, And melt us with Thy dying love!

5 The rocks could feel Thy powerful death,

And tremble and asunder part;
Oh rend with Thine expiring breath
The harder marble of our heart!

[blocks in formation]

3 Oh for His sake our guilt forgive,
And let the mourning sinner live!
The Lord will hear us in His name,
Nor shall our hope be turned to shame.

147

I Oн come and mourn with me awhile;
Oh come ye to the Saviour's side;
Oh come, together let us mourn ;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.

2

Have we no tears to shed for Him, While soldiers scoff and Jews deride? Ah, look how patiently He hangs! Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.

3 How fast His hands and feet are nailed! His throat with parching thirst is dried ; His failing eyes are dimmed with blood: Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.

4 Seven times He spake, seven words of love;

And all three hours His silence cried
For mercy on the souls of men :
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.

5 Come let us stand beneath the cross;
So the blood from out His side
may
Fall gently on us drop by drop:
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
