To His throne beyond the skies! Hallelujah!
Christ, the Lamb for sinners given, Hallelujah!
Reascends His native heaven, Hallelujah!
2 There the glorious triumph waits;Hallelujah!
Lift your heads, eternal gates; Hallelujah!
He hath conquered death and sin; Hallelujah!
Take the King of glory in! Hallelujah!
3 Him though highest heaven receives, Hallelujah!
Still He loves the earth He leaves; Hallelujah!
Though returning to His throne, Hallelujah!
Still He calls mankind His own. Hallelujah!
4 See, He lifts His hands above! Hallelujah!
See, He shows the prints of love! Hallelujah!
Hark, His gracious lips bestow, Hallelujah!
Blessings on His church below! Hallelujah!
5 Still for us His death He please; Hallelujah!
Ever for us intercedes; Hallelujah!
Near Himself prepares our place, Hallelujah!
He the first-fruits of our race. Hallelujah!
5 There we shall with Thee remain, Hallelujah!
Partners of Thine endless reign; Hallelujah!
There Thy face unclouded see, Hallelujah!
Find our heaven of heavens in Thee. Hallelujah!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ASCENSION
