Tune: | ASCENSION |
Composer: | William Henry Monk, 1823 - 89 |
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!
Wide unfold the radiant scene, Alleluia!
Take the King of glory in. Alleluia! A-men.
3 See, he lifts his hands above, Alleluia!
See, he shows the prints of love; Alleluia!
Hark! his gracious lips bestow, Alleluia!
Blessings on his church below. Alleluia!
4 Lord beyond our mortal sight, Alleluia!
Raise our hearts to reach thy height, Alleluia!
There thy face unclouded see, Alleluia!
Find our heaven of heavens in thee. Alleluia!
Amen.
