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