O Thou Eternal Christ of God

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!
