Hail the day that sees Him rise, Alleluia!

Ravished from our wistful eyes! Alleluia!

Christ, awhile to mortals given, Alleluia!

Reascends His native heaven. Alleluia!

There the pompous triumph waits, Alleluia!

Lift your heads, eternal gates; Alleluia!

Wide unfold the radiant scene; Alleluia!

Take the King of Glory in! Alleluia!

Him though highest heaven 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!

Master, will we ever say, Alleluia!

Taken from our head to-day, Alleluia!

See Thy faithful servants, see, Alleluia!

Ever gazing up to Thee. Alleluia!

Grant, though parted from our sight, Alleluia!

High above you azure height, Alleluia!

Grant our hearts may thither rise, Alleluia!

Follow Thee beyond the skies. Alleluia!

There we shall with Thee remain, Alleluia!

Partners of Thy endless reign; Alleluia!

Find our heav’n of heav’ns in Thee, Alleluia!

Amen. Alleluia!
