1 Thou, O Christ, ascending high
Into clouds of glory far;
Men on earth looked to the sky,
While their minds were filled with awe.
2 Angels in white garments stood,
Said "Why gaze ye up to heaven?
This same Jesus who is good
Shall return to earth again."
3 O Thou King of kings, who reigns
On Thy throne forever more,
Help us reach the blissful plains
Where we'll praise Thee o'er and o'er.
AMEN.
