171. Hail the day that sees Him rise

1 Hail the day that sees Him rise, Alleluia!
Ravished from our wishful eyes! Alleluia!
Christ, awhile to mortals given, Alleluia!
Reascends His native heaven. Alleluia!

2 There the glorious triumph waits: Alleluia!
Lift your heads, eternal gates, Alleluia!
Wide unfold the radiant scene, Alleluia!
Take the King of Glory in! Alleluia!

3 Him though highest heaven receives, Alleluia!
Still He loves the earth He leaves; Alleluia!
Though returning to His throne, Alleluia!
Still He calls mankind His own. Alleluia!

Amen.
