148. Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise

Full Text

1 Hail the day that sees Him rise
To His throne above the skies!
Christ, the Lamb for sinners given,
Re-ascends His native heav'n,
Re-ascends His native heav'n.

2 There the glorious triumph waits:
Lift your heads, eternal gates;
He hath conquered death and sin;
Take the King of glory in!
Take the King of glory in.

3 Him though highest heaven receives,
Yet He loves the earth He leaves;
Though returning to His throne,
Still He calls mankind His own,
Still He calls mankind His own.

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

5 Still for us His death He pleads;
Ever for us intercedes;
Near Himself prepares our place,
He the Firstfruits of our race,
He the Firstfruits of our race.

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

Amen.
