Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #186 (1999) Meter: 7.7.7.7 with alleluias First Line: Hail the day that sees Him rise, Alleluia Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that sees Him rise, Alleluia!
Ravished from our wishful eyes; Alleluia!
Christ, awhile to mortals given, Alleluia!
Reascends His native heaven, Alleluia!
2 Him though highest heaven receives, Alleluia!
Still He loves the earth He leaves; Alleluia!
Though returning to His throne, Alleluia!
Still He calls the world His own. Alleluia!
3 Grant, 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!
4 Even upward let us move, Alleluia!
Wafted on the wings of love, Alleluia!
There Thy face unclouded see, Alleluia!
Find our heaven of heavens in Thee. Alleluia!
Amen.
