Analysis of Ride on, Lord Jesus, ride on

Royston 1946 (Reading)



Ride on, Lord Jesus,
ride on.
Your final battle is to be won.

Ride on, Lord Jesus
ride, ride.
To Golgotha to be crucified.

Take up the cross, Lord Jesus,
take it up.
For our sake please take it up.

Climb the hill, Lord Jesus,
climb the hill.
For now is the time to fulfil God’s will..

Lay down Your life, Lord Jesus.
Lay down Your life.
For You alone can pay the price
