Cantata: Toccata

Music: John Carter
Text: traditional spirituals

Ride on King Jesus no man can a hinder me,
Ride on King Jesus, ride on, no man can a hinder me.

Ride on King Jesus no man can a hinder me,
Ride on King Jesus, ride on, no man can a hinder me.

He is King of Kings, He is Lord of Lords
Jesus Christ, the first and last, no man works like him.

King Jesus rides a milk white horse
No man works like him,
The river of Jordan he did cross
No man works like him.

Ride on King Jesus no man can a hinder me,
Ride on King Jesus, ride on, no man can a hinder me.
Ride on King Jesus no man can a hinder me.

Ride on King Jesus, no man can a hinder me,
Ride on King Jesus, Ride on! Ride on! Ride!

No man, no man, no man. no man,
No man, no man, no man,
Can a hinder me!
