Hail the day that sees Him rise, Alleluia!
To His throne
above the skies, Alleluia!
Christ, awhile to mortals given,
Alleluia!
Reascends His native heaven, Alleluia!
There the glorious triumph waits, Alleluia!
Lift your
heads, eternal gates, Alleluia!
Christ hath conquered death
and sin, Alleluia!
Take the King of glory in, Alleluia!
Him though highest heav¡¦n receives, Alleluia!
Still He
loves the earth He leaves, Alleluia!
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 His death He pleads, Alleluia!
Prevalent He
intercedes, Alleluia!
Near Himself prepares our place,
Alleluia!
Harbinger of human race, Alleluia!
Grant, though parted from our sight, Alleluia!
Far above you azure height, Alleluia!
Grant our hearts may thither rise, Alleluia!
Seeking Thee beyond the skies, Alleluia!
