Hail the day that sees him rise, Alleluia!
to his throne above the skies, Alleluia!
Christ, the Lamb for sinners giv’n, Alleluia!
Enters now the highest heav'n! Alleluia:

There for him high triumph waits, Alleluia!
Lift your heads, eternal gates! Allelua
He hath conquered death and sin:
take the King of glory in! Alleluia!

Lo! the heav'n its Lord receives, Alleluia!
Yet he loves the earth he leaves, Allelua!
Though returning to his throne, Alleluia!
Still he calls mankind his own. Alleluia!

See! he lifts his hands above, Alleluia!
See! he shows the prints of love Alleluia!
Hark! his gracious lips bestow, Alleluia!
Blessings on his Church below. Alleluia!

Still for us he intercedes, Alleluia!
His prevailing death he pleads, AIleluia!
Near himself prepares our place, Alleluia!
He the first fruits of our race. Alleluia!

Lord, though parted from our sight, Alleluia!
Far above the starry height, Alleluia!
Grant our hearts may thither rise, Alleluia!
Seeking thee above the skies. Alleluia!
