1 The Lord ascendeth up on high, the Lord hath triumphed gloriously, in power and might excelling; the grave and hell are captive led, lo! he returns, our glorious Head, to his eternal dwelling. 2 The heavens with joy receive their Lord, by saints, by angel hosts adored; O day of exultation! O earth, adore thy glorious King! His rising, his ascension sing with grateful adoration! 3 Our great High Priest hath gone before, now on his church his grace to pour; and still his love he giveth; O may our hearts to him ascend; may all within us upward tend to him who ever liveth!
