Christ’s Resurrection and Ascension. Acts 1. 9
1
Jesus, our triumphant Head,
 
Risen victorious from the dead,
 
To the realms of glory gone,
 
To ascend his rightful throne.
2
Cherubs on the Conqueror gaze;
 
Seraphs glow with brighter blaze;
 
Each bright order of the sky
 
Hails him as he passes by.
3
[Saints the glorious triumph meet,
 
See their enemies at his feet!
 
By his scars his toils are viewed,
 
And his garments rolled in blood.]
4
[Heaven its King congratulates;
 
Opens wide her golden gates;
 
Angels songs of victory sing;
 
All the blissful regions ring.]
5
Sinners, join the heavenly powers,
 
None but burdened sinners prove
 
Blood-bought pardon, dying love.
6
Hail, thou dear, thou worthy Lord;
 
Holy Lamb, incarnate Word!
 
Hail, thou suffering Son of God!
 
Take the trophies of thy blood.
