Tenor recitative:
And the people took branches of palm-trees,
and went forth to meet Him, and cried:
Chorus:
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!
Blessed is he that cometh,
that cometh in the name of the Lord!
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die
O Savior meek, pursue Thy road
With palms and scatter'd garments strowed
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die.
Tenor solo:
O Christ, Thy triumphs now begin
O'er captive death and conquer'd sin.
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
The angel armies of the sky
Look down with sad and wond'ring eyes
To see the approaching sacrifice.
Chorus:
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.
