John 12:15: Pomp and magnificence He leaves

Pomp and magnificence He leaves
To kings who need their weakness hide,
No dignity from man receives.
Who comes but to encounter pride.
To make the world and sin submit.
And trample death beneath His feet.

Meekness and love compose His train,
Sion, rejoice thy King to see;
He comes o'er willing hearts to reign,
By patience and humility;
Ye need not fear the sinner's Friend
Who comes your sins and fears to end.

Sinners by gentleness He wins,
And sweetly bends them to His sway;
Receive your mild pacific Prince,
Enjoy the happiness to' obey,
Delight His easy yoke to prove.
And bless His law of life and love.
