See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 206 hymnals Topics: Biblical Characters Elijah; Biblical Characters Enoch; Biblical Characters Joshua Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqu'ror mounts in triumph, see the King in royal state riding on the clouds, his chariot to his heav'nly palace gate; Hark! the choirs of angel voices joyful Alleluias sing and the portals high are lifted to receive their heav'nly King. 2 Who is he that comes in glory with the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, he has gained the victory. He who on the cross did suffer, he who from the grave arose, he has vanquished sin and Satan, he by death has spoiled his foes. 3 While he lifts his hands in blessing he is parted from his friends; while their eager eyes behold him, he upon the clouds ascends; he who walked with God and pleased him, preaching truth and doom to come, he, our Enoch, is translated to his everlasting home. 4 Now our heav'nly Aaron enters with his blood within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, and the kings before him quail. Now he plants the tribes of Israel in their promised resting place, now our great Elijah offers double portion of his grace. 5 He has raised our human nature on the clouds to God's right hand; there we sit in heav'nly places, there with thee in glory stand; Jesus reigns, adored by angels, mighty Lord, in thine Ascension we by faith behold our own. Scripture: Genesis 5:24 Used With Tune: EBENEZER

This is the Saviour," thus they say; "this is his noble triumph day. Again shall ye behold him so as ye today have seen him go: in glorious pomp ascending high up to the portals of the sky." 3 O grant us thitherward to tend, and with unwearied hearts ascend toward thy kingdom's throne, where thou, as is our faith, art seated now.

Bless'd Are the Pure in Heart

Author: John Keble Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 408 hymnals Topics: Biblical Characters Anna Lyrics: 1 Bless'd are the pure in heart, for they shall see our God; the secret of the Lord is theirs; their soul is Christ's abode. Might mortal thought presume to guess an angel's lay, such are the notes that echo through the courts of heav'n today. 2 Such the triumphal hymns on Zion's Prince that wait, in high procession passing on towards his temple gate. Give ear, ye kings; bow down, ye rulers of the earth– this, this is he, your priest by grace, your God and King by birth. 3 No pomp of earthly guards attends with sword and spear, and all defying, dauntless, look their monarch's way to clear: yet are there more with him than all that are with you– the armies of the highest heav'n, all righteous, good, and true. 4 But who is he, though bowed by years, erect in heart, whose prayers are struggling with his tears? "Lord, let me now depart; now hath thy servant seen thy saving health, O Lord: 'tis time that I depart in peace, according to thy word." 5 Yet swells the pomp: one more comes forth to bless her God: full four-score years, meek widow, she her heav'nward way hath trod: she who to earthly joys so long had giv'n farewell, now sees, unlooked for, heav'n on earth, Christ in his Israel. 6 Wide open from that hour the temple gates are set, and still the saints rejoicing there the holy Child have met. Still to the lowly soul he doth himself impart, and for his cradle and his throne chooseth the pure in heart. Used With Tune: FIFTH TUNE

He Sat to Watch O'er Customs Paid

Author: William Bright Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Biblical Characters Matthew Lyrics: 1 He sat to watch o'er customs paid, a man of scorned and hard'ning trade; alike the symbol and the tool of foreign masters' hated rule. 2 But grace within his heart had stirred; there needed but the timely word; it came, true Lord of souls, from thee, that royal summons, "Follow me!" 3 Enough, when thou wast passing by, to hear thy voice, to meet thine eye; he rose, responsive to the call and left his task, his gains, his all. 4 O wise exchange! with these to part, and lay up treasures in the heart; let them of Matthew's wealth partake, who yield up all for Jesus' sake.
