Author: J. R. Woodford, 1820-1885 Hymnal: Common Praise #164 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Scripture: Luke 21:36 Lyrics: 1 Christ, above all glory seated,
King triumphant, strong to save,
dying, thou hast death defeated;
buried, thou hast spoiled the grave.
2 Thou art gone, where now is given
what no mortal might could gain,
on the eternal throne of Heaven,
in thy Father’s power to reign.
*3 There thy kingdoms all adore thee,
heaven above and earth below;
while the depths of hell before thee
trembling and defeated bow.
4 We, O Lord, with hearts adoring,
follow thee above the sky;
hear our prayers thy grace imploring,
lift our souls to thee on high.
5 So when thou again in glory
on the clouds of heaven shalt shine
we thy flock may stand before thee,
owned for evermore as thine.
6 Hail! All hail! In thee confiding,
Jesus, thee shall all adore,
in thy Father’s might abiding
with one Spirit evermore. Topics: Ascension; Easter VII Year A; Christ the King Year B Languages: English Tune Title: WYCHBOLD
