Hail The Day That Sees Him Rise

Hail the day that sees Him rise, alleluia!
Glorious to His native skies; Alleluia!
Christ, awhile to mortals giv'n, alleluia!
Enters now the highest Heav'n, alleluia!

There the glorious triumph waits; Alleluia!
Lift your heads, eternal gates! Alleluia!
Christ hath vanquished 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 mankind His own. Alleluia!

Still for us He intercedes; Alleluia!
His prevailing death He pleads; Alleluia!
Near Himself prepares our place, alleluia!
First-fruits of the human race. Alleluia!

There we shall with Thee remain, alleluia!
Partners of Thine endless reign; Alleluia!
There Thy face unclouded see, alleluia!
Find our Heav'n of heav'ns in Thee. Alleluia!
