1. Hail the day that sees him rise Alleluia!
to his throne beyond the skies. Alleluia!
Christ, the Lamb for sinners giv’n, Alleluia!
enters now the highest heav’n. Alleluia!
2. There for him high triumph waits; Alleluia!
lift your heads, eternal gates. Alleluia!
He has conquered death and sin; Alleluia!
take the King of glory in. Alleluia!
3. Highest heav’n its Lord receives; Alleluia!
yet he loves the ones he leaves. Alleluia!
Though returning to his throne, Alleluia!
still he calls us all his own. Alleluia!
4. Still for us he intercedes; Alleluia!
his atoning death he pleads, Alleluia!
near himself prepares our place, Alleluia!
he the firstfruits of our race. Alleluia!

NEW! This PowerPoint File has been recently updated to our new format!
Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.
All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
