THE PRINCE OF SALVATION IN TRIUMPH IS RIDING.
The Prince of Salvation in triumph is riding,
And glory attends Him along His bright way;
The news of His grace on the breezes are gliding,
And mortals are owning His sway.
And glory attends Him along His bright way;
The news of His grace on the breezes are gliding,
And mortals are owning His sway.
The rays of the gospel-star,—see how they brighten!
With splendors unknown the horizon they fill;
The wretched they soothe, and the dark they enlighten,
And gladness their beamings distil.
With splendors unknown the horizon they fill;
The wretched they soothe, and the dark they enlighten,
And gladness their beamings distil.
Ride on, in Thy greatness, Thou conquering Saviour!
Let thousands of thousands submit to Thy reign,
Like doves at their windows, entreat for Thy favor,
And follow Thy glorious train.
Let thousands of thousands submit to Thy reign,
Like doves at their windows, entreat for Thy favor,
And follow Thy glorious train.
Then sweetly shall ring from each sanctified nation,
The voices of myriads tuned to Thy praise,
And heaven shall re-echo the song of salvation,
In rich and melodious lays.
The voices of myriads tuned to Thy praise,
And heaven shall re-echo the song of salvation,
In rich and melodious lays.
