Amen. Topics: Comfort; Guidance and Care Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English

See the Conq'ror Mounts in Triumph

Hymnal: RHC #218 (1970) Tune Title: BETHANY Lyrics: 1 See the Conq'ror mounts in triumph, See the King in royal state - Riding on the clouds His chariot To His heav'nly palace gate; Hark! the choir of angel voices Joyful hallelujahs sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heav'nly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory; He Who on the Cross did suffer, He Who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan; He by death has spoiled His foes. 3 He has raised our human nature In the clouds to God's right hand: There we sit in heav'nly places, There with Him in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine Ascension, We by faith behold our own. Topics: Second Coming Languages: English
