Christ the Savior hath ascended

Christ the Savior hath ascended

To the heavens far above

Crowned with glory and with honor

By the Father God in love;

He hath made Him Head of all things

His supremacy to prove.

From this Christ to God ascended

Hath the Spirit been outpoured

Poured upon the Church

His Body

That His members be empow’red;

Thus the Lord of all in heaven

Thru His Church will be adored.

In the flesh by incarnation

Into man He God hath brought;

By His death and resurrection

Into God He man hath brought;

God and man together mingled

In Himself is fully wrought.

Now in heaven by ascension

He is seated on the throne;

All the lordship

all the headship

He Himself doth fully own;

And by pouring out His Spirit

He as such might be made known.

By this outpour

His descension

On the Church was realized;

’Tis by this

that in His Spirit

All the Church He hath baptized;

Thus the baptism of the Spirit

Was forever actualized.

Hallelujah

’tis accomplished

And accomplished once for all!

Hallelujah

we’re included

All included

great or small!

Praise Him

He hath sent the Spirit

And baptized the Church withal!
