Author: Rev. Arthur Tozer Russell (1806-1874) Hymnal: The Hymnal #172 (1950) Meter: 8.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 The Lord ascendeth up on high,
The Lord hath triumphed gloriously,
In power and might excelling;
The grave and hell are captive led,
Lo! He returns, our glorious Head,
To His eternal dwelling.
2 The heavens with joy receive their Lord,
By saints, by angel hosts adored;
O day of exultation!
O earth, adore thy glorious King!
His rising, His ascension sing
With grateful adoration!
3 Our great High Priest hath gone before,
Now on His Church His grace to pour,
And still His love He giveth;
O may our hearts to Him ascend;
May all within us upward tend
To Him who ever liveth!
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Ascension; Ascension, The; Christ Ascension Tune Title: ASCENDIT DEUS
