1 Hail the day that sees Him rise Alleluia!
To His throne above the skies; 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!

4 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!

5 Still for us His death He pleads; Alleluia!
Prevalent He intercedes; Alleluia!
Near Himself prepares our place, Alleluia!
Harbinger of human race. Alleluia!

5 Lord, though parted from our sight Alleluia!
High above yon azure height, Alleluia!
Grant our hearts may thither rise, Alleluia!
Following Thee beyond the skies. Alleluia!

Amen.
