Text as used here:
Hail the day that sees him rise,
to his throne above the skies;
Christ, the Lamb for sinners given,
enters now the highest heaven. [Alleluia.]
There for him high triumph waits;
lift your heads, eternal gates!
he hath conquered death and sin;
take the King of glory in! [Alleluia.]
Lo, the heaven its Lord receives,
yet he loves the earth he leaves;
though returning to his throne,
still he calls mankind his own. [Alleluia.]
See, he lifts his hands above;
see, he shews the prints of love;
hark, his gracious lips bestow
blessings on his Church below. [Alleluia.]
Still for us he intercedes,
his prevailing death he pleads;
near himself prepares our place,
he the first-fruits of our race. [Alleluia.]
Lord, though parted from our sight,
far above the starry height,
grant our hearts may thither rise,
seeking thee above the skies. [Alleluia.]
