The Catholic Hymnal ‎#77

77. A hymn of glory let us sing

I. A hymn of glory let us sing :
   New hymns throughout the world shall ring.
   Christ by a new and wondrous road
  ;Ascends unto the throne of God.

2 Th' Apostles on the mountain stand,
   The mystic mount, in Holy Land,
   And with the Virgin-Mother see
   Jesus ascend in majesty.

3 To whom two shining angels cry,
   "Why stand ye gazing on the sky ?
   This is the Saviour, upward borne
   On this his glorious triumph-morn.

4 "Ye see Him now, ascending high
   To seek the portals of the sky :
   Hereafter Jesus ye shall see
   Return in equal majesty."

5 Lord, grant that we may thither tend,
   And with unwearied hearts ascend
   Where, seated on thy Father's throne,
   Thee reigning, King of kings, we own.

6 Be Thou our Joy on earth, O Lord,
   Who art to be our great Reward :
   And as the countless ages flee,
   Let all our glory be in Thee.

7 All glory to the Father be,
   All glory, Jesus Christ, to Thee,
   Who didst to heaven above ascend,
   And to the Spirit, without end. Amen.
