96. Hail the Day that Sees Him Rise

1. Hail the day that sees Him rise,
Alleluia!
Glorious to His native skies,
Alleluia!
Christ, awhile to mortals given,
Alleluia!
Enters now the highest heaven.
Alleluia!

2. There the glorious triumph waits,
Alleluia!
Lift your heads, eternal gates,
Alleluia!
Christ hath vanquished death and sin,
Alleluia!
Take the king of glory in.
Alleluia!

3. See, the heaven its Lord receives,
Alleluia!
Yet He loves the earth He leaves,
Alleluia!
Though returning to His throne,
Alleluia!
Still He calls mankind His own.
Alleluia!
