To greet our Lord these festive days,
Alleluia, alleluia!
Who by a road before untrod
Ascended to the throne of God,
Alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
2 In wond'ring awe his faithful band
Upon the Mount of Olives stand,
Alleluia, alleluia!
And with the virgin mother see
Their Lord ascend in majesty,
Alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
3 To God the Father let us sing,
To God the Son, our risen king,
Alleluia, alleluia!
And equally let us adore
The Holy Spirit evermore,
