426. Sing We Triumphant Hymns of Praise

1 Sing we triumphant hymns of praise
To greet our Lord these festive days,
Alleluia, alleluia!
Who by a road before untrod
Ascended to the throne of God,
Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

2 In wond'ring awe his faithful band
Upon the Mount of Olives stand.
Alleluia, alleluia!
And with the Virgin Mother see
Their Lord ascend in majesty.
Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

3 O risen Christ, ascended Lord,
All praise to you let earth accord,
Alleluia, alleuia!
Who are, while endless ages run,
With Father and with Spirit, One.
Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

4 To God the Father let us sing,
To God the Son, our risen King,
Alleluia, alleluia!
And equally let us adore
The Holy Spirit evermore.
Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
