Hymnal: The Catholic Hymnal #77 (1885) Lyrics: I. A hymn of glory let us sing :
New hymns throughout the world shall ring.
Christ by a new and wondrous road
;Ascends unto the throne of God.
2 Th' Apostles on the mountain stand,
The mystic mount, in Holy Land,
And with the Virgin-Mother see
Jesus ascend in majesty.
3 To whom two shining angels cry,
"Why stand ye gazing on the sky ?
This is the Saviour, upward borne
On this his glorious triumph-morn.
4 "Ye see Him now, ascending high
To seek the portals of the sky :
Hereafter Jesus ye shall see
Return in equal majesty."
5 Lord, grant that we may thither tend,
And with unwearied hearts ascend
Where, seated on thy Father's throne,
Thee reigning, King of kings, we own.
6 Be Thou our Joy on earth, O Lord,
Who art to be our great Reward :
And as the countless ages flee,
Let all our glory be in Thee.
7 All glory to the Father be,
All glory, Jesus Christ, to Thee,
Who didst to heaven above ascend,
And to the Spirit, without end. Amen.
