Hail the day that sees Him rise
Alleluia!
To His throne above the skies
Christ
awhile to mortals given
Reascends His native Heaven
There the glorious triumph waits
Lift your heads
eternal gates
Christ hath conquered death and sin
Take the King of glory in
Circled round with angel powers
Their triumphant Lord
and ours
Conqueror over death and sin
Take the King of glory in! Alleluia!
Him though highest Heav’n receives
Still He loves the earth He leaves
Though returning to His throne
Still He calls mankind His own
See! He lifts His hands above
See! He shows the prints of love
Hark! His gracious lips bestow
Blessings on His church below
Still for us His death He pleads
Prevalent He intercedes
Near Himself prepares our place
Harbinger of human race
Master (will we ever say)
Taken from our head to day
See Thy faithful servants
see
Ever gazing up to Thee
Grant
though parted from our sight
Far above yon azure height
Grant our hearts may thither rise
Seeking Thee beyond the skies
Ever upward let us move
Wafted on the wings of love
Looking when our Lord shall come
Longing
gasping after home
There we shall with Thee remain
Partners of Thy endless reign
There Thy face unclouded see
Find our heaven of heavens in Thee
