64 LORD, as to Thy dear Cross we flee, And plead to be forgiven, So let Thy life our pattern be, And form our souls for heaven.

In lowly pomp, ride on to die : O Christ, Thy triumphs now begin, 69 Ride on ride on in majesty! The angel armies of the sky Look down with sad and wondering eyes Ride on! ride on in majesty! Ride on ! ride on in majesty! Amen. HYMNS ON THE PASSION. NING, my tongue, the Saviour's glory, Lift on high the wondrous trophy, Death, through death now vanquishing.
