265. Hail the day that sees Christ rise

1 Hail the day that sees Christ rise, hallelujah!
to the throne in paradise; hallelujah!
Christ the Lamb for sinners given, hallelujah!
enters now the highest heaven. hallelujah!

2 Christ, for you high triumph waits, hallelujah!
lift your heads, eternal gates; hallelujah!
you have conquered death and sin: hallelujah!
enter, Sovereign, enter in. hallelujah!

3 See the nail-marked hands above,
hallelujah!
signs of God's redeeming love; hallelujah!
hark, Christ's words our hearts assure,
hallelujah!
"I will send a Comforter!" hallelujah!

4 Christ, for us still intercede; hallelujah!
by your suffering for us plead; hallelujah!
near yourself prepare a place, hallelujah!
as the first-fruits of God's grace. hallelujah!

5 Now, though parted from our sight, hallelujah!
in the depths of starry night, hallelujah!
may God raise us up again. hallelujah!
heirs of your eternal reign. hallelujah!
