LyicsThe Prince of Salvation in triumph is riding,
And glory attends him along his bright way,
The news of his grace on the breezes is gliding,
And nations are owning his sway.
And now through the darkness of earth's gloomy regions,
The wheels of his chariot are rolling sublime;
His banners un-fold-ing his own true relig-ion,
Dis-pell-ing the errors of time.
Behold a bright angel from heaven descending,
High lifting his trumpet, hosannas to raise:
"Hail, Son of the Highest! let every knee, bending,
Adore thee with off rings of praise.
"Thy sword and thy buckler shall save and deliver
The poor and the needy from foes that assail;
Thy bow and thy quiver shall vanquish forever
The prince and the legions of hell.
"Ride on in thy greatness, thou conquering Savior!
Let thousands of thousands submit to thy reign,
Acknowledge thy goodness, entreat for thy favor,
And follow thy glorious train."
