1 A hymn of glory let us sing!
New songs throughout the world shall ring:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ, by a road before untrod,
Ascends unto the throne of God.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

2 The holy apostolic band
Upon the Mount of Olives stand,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
And with his followers they see
Their Lord ascend in majesty.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

3 To them the shining angels cry,
""Why stand and gaze upon the sky?""
Alleluia! Alleluia!
""This is the Savior, "" thus they say.
""This is his glorious triumph day.""
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

4 ""You see him now, ascending high
Up to the portals of the sky.""
Alleluia! Alleluia!
""Hereafter Jesus you shall see
Returning in great majesty.""
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

5 O Lord, our homeward pathway bend,
that our unwearied hearts ascend,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Where, seated on your Father's throne,
You reign as King of kings alone.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
