Christ Our King to Heaven Ascendeth

Christ our king to Heav­en as­cend­eth

Past the blue sky’s ut­most bound;

Christ our king to Heav­en as­cend­eth

Clouds of an­gels close Him round.

Alleluia

al­le­lu­ia

Alleluia loud they cry:

Christ our king to Heav­en as­cend­eth—

Glory be to God on high!

Our high priest to Heav­en as­cend­eth

Lo! the Lamb

as it were slain!

Our high priest to Heav­en as­cend­eth

On God’s throne He lives again;

Pleads His sac­ri­fice of won­der

Claims the fruit of all His pain;

Our high priest to Heav­en as­cend­eth—

Peace on earth

good-will to men.

Christ our Lord to Heav­en as­cend­eth

Cloven tongues of fire ap­pear.

Christ our Lord to Heav­en as­cend­eth

Lo! the rush­ing wind is here!

Mighty ar­mies forth with ban­ners

Conquering and to con­quer go:

Christ our Lord to Heav­en as­cend­eth—

He shall reign o’er all be­low.

Christ now reigns

the King of glo­ry

All His foes be­fore Him fall;

Christ now reigns

the King of glo­ry

He alone is all in all.

King of kings shall men be­hold Him

Lord of lords for ev­er­more:

Christ now reigns

the King of glo­ry

Bow be­fore Him

and ad­ore!
