Ride On ! Ride On in Majesty!

We're singing this hymn this morning - Ride On! Ride on in Majesty! - and I was struck by the words of the third verse:

Ride on! Ride on in majesty
the angel armies of the sky
look down with sad and wondering eyes
to see the approaching sacrifice.

Palm Sunday is a day that Christians celebrate... but perhaps it would do us good to quiet the Hosannas just a bit to see the approaching sacrifice.

The recording below plays through the melody (hymn tune = Winchester New) 4 times, and ends with an Amen.  It's yours if you want it.  Download it here.
