Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 551 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that sees Him rise,
Ravished from our wishful eyes!
Christ, awhile to mortals given,
Reascends His native heaven,
Reascends His native heaven.
2 There the pompous triumph waits;
Lift your heads, eternal gates;
Wide unfold the radiant scene;
Take the King of glory in,
Take the King of glory in.
3 Circled round with angel powers,
Their triumphant Lord and ours,
Conqu’ror over death and sin,
Take the King of glory in,
Take the King of glory in.
4 Him tho’ highest heav’n receives,
Still He loves the earth He leaves;
Tho’ returning to His throne,
Still He calls mankind His own,
Still He calls mankind His own.
5 Saviour, parted from our sight,
High above you azure height,
Grant our hearts may thither rise,
Following Thee beyond the skies,
Following Thee beyond the skies. Used With Tune: [Hail the day that sees Him rise]
Hail the Day that Sees Him Rise
