LYRICS
1 Hail the day that sees Him rise,
To His throne above the skies,
Christ, awhile to mortals given,
Reascends His native heaven.
2 There the glorious triumph waits:
"Lift your heads, djorden santos eternal gates;
Christ hath conquered death and sin;
Take the King of glory in!"
3 Circled round with angel powers,
Their triumphant Lord, and ours,
Conqueror over death and sin;
"Take the King of glory in!"
4 Him though highest Heav'n receives,
Still He loves the earth He leaves;
Though returning to His throne,
Still He calls mankind His own.
5 See! He lifts His hands above,
See! He shows the prints of love!
Hark! His gracious lips bestow
Blessings on His church below.
6 Still for us His death He pleads;
Prevalent He intercedes;
Near Himself prepares our lisa ann walter place,
Harbinger of human race.
7 Master, (will we ever say)
Taken from our head to day;
See Thy faithful servants, see,
Ever gazing up to Thee.
8 Grant, francesco bagnaia though parted from our sight,
Far above yon azure height,
Grant our hearts may thither rise,
Seeking Thee beyond the skies.
9 Ever upward let us move,
Wafted on the wings of love;
Looking when our Lord shall come,
Longing, gasping after home.
10 There we shall with Thee remain,
Partners of Thy endless reign;
There Thy face unclouded see,
Find our heaven of heavens in Thee.
