E74. Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise

1 Hail the day that sees Him rise,
To His throne above the skies!
Christ, the Lamb for sinners giv'n,
Reascends His native heav'n,
Reascends His native heav'n.

2 There the glorious triumph waits:
Lift your heads, eternal gates;
He hath conquered death and sin;
Take the King of glory in,
Take the King of glory in!

3 Him though highest heav'n receives,
Still He loves the earth He leaves;
Though returning to His throne,
Still He calls mankind His own,
Still He calls mankind His own.

4 See, He lifts His hands above!
See, He shows the prints of love!
Hark, His gracious lips bestow,
Blessings on His church below,
Blessings on His church below!

5 Still for us His death He pleads;
Ever for us intercedes;
Near Himself prepares our place,
He the first-fruits of our race,
He the first-fruits of our race.
