Ping.
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry;
O Savior meek, pursue thy road
with palms and scattered garments strowed.
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
O Christ, thy triumphs now begin
o’er captive death and conquered sin.
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
The angel-squadrons of the sky
look down with sad and wondering eyes
to see the approaching sacrifice.
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh;
the Father on his sapphire throne
expects his own anointed Son.
Ride on! ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die;
bow thy meek head to mortal pain,
then take, O God, thy power, and reign.
I have been watching the TV series ‘The Bible’ I don’t know and can’t settle my mind as to the composition although I really had the feeling of a powerful presentation. I am of old fashioned Lutheran faith up through being a parochial grade school graduate. Watching last evenings episode gave me a never before queasy feeling about what was being shown about Peter. Past biblical training had given me the opinion that Peter’s denial of Christ was a showing of a weak self serving/preservation moment. Last night a thought flashed through my mind that Peter known to be a disciple of Christ in the next and last part would be asked to give proof that indeed Christ was the man to be judged. My flash thought was that Peter did deny Christ three times BUT he denied so as to not give any such relative identity. Perhaps the last episode will clear up my queasy thought.
