Hail the day that sees Him rise, Alleluia!
To His throne beyond 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. Alleluia!
He has conquered death and sin; Alleluia!
Take the King of glory in. Alleluia!
Highest heav’n its Lord receives; Alleluia!
Yet He loves the ones He leaves. Alleluia!
Though returning to His throne, Alleluia!
Still He calls us all His own. Alleluia!
Still for us He intercedes; Alleluia!
His atoning death He pleads, Alleluia!
He the first fruits of our race, Alleluia!
Near Himself prepares our place. Alleluia!
There we shall with You remain, Alleluia!
Partners of Your endless reign, Alleluia!
There Your face unclouded see, Alleluia!
Find our heav’n of heav’ns in Thee. Alleluia!
