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, Alleluia! he has conquered death and sin. Alleluia! Take the King of glory in! Alleluia!
See! the heav'n its Lord receives, Alleluia! yet he loves the earth he leaves, Alleluia! though returning to his throne, Alleluia! still he calls the world 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!
