483. 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, ascending 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!
