O Thou eter­nal Christ of God,
Ride on, ride on, ride on!
Establish Thou for­ev­er­more
The tri­umph now begun.
A migh­ty host, by Thee re­deemed,
Is march­ing in Thy train,
Thine is the king­dom and the pow­er,
And Thou in love shalt reign.

O holy Sav­ior of man­kind,
Ride on, ride on, ride on!
We bear with Thee the scourge and cross
If so Thy will is done.
And be the road up­hill or down,
Unbroken or well trod,
We go with Thee to claim and build
A city un­to God.

O Thou whose dreams en­thrall the heart,
Ride on, ride on, ride on!
Ride on till tyr­an­ny and greed
Are ev­er­more un­done.
In mart and court and par­lia­ment
The com­mon good in­crease,
Till men at last shall ring the bells
Of bro­ther­hood and peace.

O Thou who art the life and light,
Exalted Lord and King,
We hail Thine au­gust ma­jes­ty
And loud ho­san­na sing,
Until in ev­ery land and clime
Thine ends of love are won:
O Christ, Re­deem­er, bro­ther, friend,
Ride on, ride on, ride on!
