1 Hail the day that sees him rise, Alleluia!
to His throne beyond the skies. Alleluia!
Christ, the Lamb for sinners given, Alleluia!
enters now the highest heav'n. Alleluia!
2 There for Him high triumph waits; Alleluia!
lift your head, eternal gates. Alleluia!
He has conquered death and sin, Alleluia!
gake the King of glory in! Alleluia!
3 Highest heaven its Lord receives; Alleluia!
yet he loves the earth 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!
