  1. 1Hail the day that sees Him rise
  2. To His throne above the skies!
  3. Christ, the Lamb for sinners given,
  4. Re-ascends His native heav'n,
  5. Re-ascends His native heav'n.
  6. 2There the glorious triumph waits:
  7. Lift your heads, eternal gates;
  8. He hath conquered death and sin;
  9. Take the King of glory in!
  10. Take the King of glory in.
  11. 3Him though highest heaven receives,
  12. Yet He loves the earth He leaves;
  13. Though returning to His throne,
  14. Still He calls mankind His own,
  15. Still He calls mankind His own.
  16. 4See He lifts His hands above!
  17. See, He shows the prints of love!
  18. Hark! His gracious lips bestow
  19. Blessings on His church below!
  20. Blessings on His church below!
  21. 5Still for us His death He pleads;
  22. Ever for us intercedes;
  23. Near Himself prepares our place,
  24. He the Firstfruits of our race,
  25. He the Firstfruits of our race.
  26. 6There we shall with Thee remain,
  27. Partners of Thy endless reign;
  28. There Thy face unclouded see,
  29. Find our heaven of heavens in Thee,
  30. Find our heaven of heavens in Thee.
  31. 7Amen.
