484. Hail the Day That Sees Christ Rise

1 Hail the day that sees Christ rise Alleluia!
To the throne above the skies; Alleluia!
Paschal Lamb for sinners giv'n Alleluia!
Enters now the highest heav'n. Alleluia!

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

3 Christ, upraising hands above, Alleluia!
Shows to us the wounds of love; Alleluia!
Hark! as gracious lips bestow Alleluia!
Blessings on the Church below. Alleluia!

4 Lord beyond our mortal sight, Alleluia!
Raise our hearts to reach your height. Alleluia!
There we shall with you remain, Alleluia!
Partners of your endless reign. Alleluia!
