95. A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing

1. A hymn of glory let us sing;
New songs throughout the world shall ring;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ, by a road before untrod,
Ascendeth to the throne of God.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!

2. The holy apostolic band
Upon the Mount of Olives stand;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
And with His followers they see
Jesus' resplendent majesty.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!

3. O risen Christ, ascended Lord,
All praise to thee let earth accord,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Who art, while endless ages run,
With Father and with Spirit one.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!
