So lowly doth the Savior ride

Verse 1

So lowly does the Savior ride A paltry borrowed beast, Nor pomp, nor show, nor lofty pride, Nor boast above the least.

Verse 2

His scepter is his kindliness, His grandeur is his grace, His royalty is holiness, And love is in his face.

Verse 3

’Tis thus the great Messiah came To break the tyrants’ will, To heal the people of their shame, And nobleness instill.

Verse 4

Ride on, O King, ride on your way, While men of low degree Exalt and usher in the day Of peace we long to see.

Verse 5

Amen.
