Hail the day that sees Him rise, Al­le­lu­ia!
To His throne above the skies, Al­le­lu­ia!
Christ, awhile to mor­tals given, Al­le­lu­ia!
Reascends His na­tive Heav­en, Al­le­lu­ia!

There the glo­ri­ous tri­umph waits, Al­le­lu­ia!
Lift your heads, eter­nal gates, Al­le­lu­ia!
Christ hath con­quered death and sin, Al­le­lu­ia!
Take the King of glo­ry in, Al­le­lu­ia!

Circled round with an­gel pow­ers, Al­le­lu­ia!
Their tri­um­phant Lord, and ours, Al­le­lu­ia!
Conqueror ov­er death and sin, Al­le­lu­ia!
Take the King of glo­ry in! Al­le­lu­ia!

Him though high­est Heav’n re­ceives, Al­le­lu­ia!
Still He loves the earth He leaves, Al­le­lu­ia!
Though re­turn­ing to His throne, Al­le­lu­ia!
Still He calls man­kind His own, Al­le­lu­ia!

See! He lifts His hands above, Al­le­lu­ia!
See! He shows the prints of love, Al­le­lu­ia!
Hark! His gra­cious lips be­stow, Al­le­lu­ia!
Blessings on His church be­low, Al­le­lu­ia!

Still for us His death He pleads, Al­le­lu­ia!
Prevalent He in­ter­cedes, Al­le­lu­ia!
Near Him­self pre­pares our place, Al­le­lu­ia!
Harbinger of hu­man race, Al­le­lu­ia!

Master (will we ev­er say), Al­le­lu­ia!
Taken from our head to day, Al­le­lu­ia!
See Thy faith­ful ser­vants, see, Al­le­lu­ia!
Ever gaz­ing up to Thee, Al­le­lu­ia!

Grant, though part­ed from our sight, Al­le­lu­ia!
Far above yon az­ure height, Al­le­lu­ia!
Grant our hearts may thi­ther rise, Al­le­lu­ia!
Seeking Thee be­yond the skies, Al­le­lu­ia!

Ever up­ward let us move, Al­le­lu­ia!
Wafted on the wings of love, Al­le­lu­ia!
Looking when our Lord shall come, Al­le­lu­ia!
Longing, gasp­ing af­ter home, Al­le­lu­ia!

There we shall with Thee re­main, Al­le­lu­ia!
Partners of Thy end­less reign, Al­le­lu­ia!
There Thy face un­cloud­ed see, Al­le­lu­ia!
Find our heav­en of heav­ens in Thee, Al­le­lu­ia!
