Hail the day that sees Him rise

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #101 (1893) Lyrics: 1 HAIL the day that sees Him rise, To His throne above the skies! Christ, the Lamb for sinners given, Re-ascends His native heaven. 2 There the glorious triumph waits; Lift your heads, eternal gates; He hath conquered death and sin; Take the King of glory in! 3 Him though highest heaven receives, Still He loves the earth He leaves; Though returning to His throne, 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! 5 Still for us His death He pleads; Prevalent, He intercedes: Near Himself prepares our place, Harbinger of human 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.

Hark, ten thousand harps and voices

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #102 (1893) Meter: 8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 HARK, ten thousand harps and voices Sound the note of praise above! Jesus reigns, and heaven rejoices; Jesus reigns, the God of love. See, He sits on yonder throne; Jesus rules the world alone. 2 Christians, come, unite your praises With the angels round His throne Soon, we hope, our God will raise us To the place where He is gone. Meet it is that we should sing, "Glory, glory to our King!" 3 Sing how Jesus came from heaven, How He bore the cross below, How all power to Him is given How He reigns in glory now 'Tis a great and endless theme O 'tis sweet to sing of Him. 4 Jesus, hail! whose glory brightens All above, and makes it fair: Lord of life, Thy smile enlightens, Cheers and charms Thy people here. When we think of love like Thine, Lord, we own it love divine. 5 King of glory, reign forever; Thine an everlasting crown: Nothing from Thy love shall sever Those whom Thou hast made Thine own; Happy objects of Thy grace, Destined to behold Thy face. 6 Saviour, hasten Thine appearing; Bring, O bring the glorious day, When, the awful summons hearing, Heaven and earth shall pass away. Then, with golden harps, we'll sing, "Glory, glory to our King!" Topics: Ascension Languages: English

Lo! God to heaven ascendeth!

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #103 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 LO! God to heaven ascendeth! Throughout its regions vast With shouts triumphant blendeth The trumpet's thrilling blast: Sing praise to Christ the Lord, Sing praise with exultation, King of each heathen nation! The God of hosts adored! 2 With joy is heaven resounding, Christ's glad return to see; Behold the saints surrounding The Lord who set them free: Bright myriads thronging come; The cherub band rejoices, And loud seraphic voices Welcome Messiah home. 3 No more the way is hidden, Since Christ, our Head, arose: No more to man forbidden The road to heaven that goes. Our Lord is gone before, Yet here He will not leave us, In heaven He'll soon receive us; He opens wide the door. 4 Christ is our place preparing, To heaven we, too, shall rise, And, joys angelic sharing, Be where our Treasure lies, There may each heart be found! Where Jesus Christ has entered, There let our hopes be centered, Our course still heavenward bound! 5 May we, His servants, thither In heart and mind ascend; And let us sing together: "We seek Thee, Christ our Friend, Thee, God's anointed Son, Our Life, and Way to heaven, To whom all power is given, Our Joy, and Hope, and Crown!" 6 Farewell with all thy treasures, O world, to falsehood given! Thy dross gives no true pleasures; We seek the joys of heaven: The Saviour is our Prize; He comforts us in sadness, And fills our hearts with gladness; To Him we lift our eyes. 7 When, on our vision dawning, Will break the wished-for hour Of that all-glorious morning, When Christ shall come with power? O come, thou welcome day! When we, our Saviour meeting, His second advent greeting, Shall hail the heaven-sent ray. Topics: Ascension Languages: English

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #104 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 OUR Lord is risen from the dead; Our Jesus is gone up on high: The powers of hell are captive led, The Victor rises to the sky. 2 There His triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay: "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates! Ye everlasting doors, give way! 3 "Loose all your bars of massy light, And wide unfold the radiant scene: He claims those mansions as His right; Receive the King of glory in!" 4 "Who is the King of glory,--who?" "The Lord, that all his foes o'ercame, The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew; And Jesus is the Conqueror's name." 5 Lo, His triumphat chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay: "Lift your heads, ye heavenly gates; Ye everlasting doors, give way!" 6 "Who is the King of glory,--who? "The Lord, of glorious power possessed; The King of saints and angels too; God over all, forever blest!" Topics: Ascension Languages: English

Since Christ has gone to heaven

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #105 (1893) Lyrics: 1 SINCE Christ has gone to heaven, His home, I, too, that home one day must share, And in this hope I overcome All doubt, all anguish, and despair: For where the Head is, well we know, The members He has left below In time He surely gathers. 2 Since Christ has reached His glorious throne, And mighty gifts henceforth are His, My heart can rest in heaven alone, On earth my Lord I ever miss: I long to be with Him on high, And heart and thoughts do always fly Where is my only Treasure. 3 From Thy ascension let such grace, Dear Lord, be ever found in me, That steadfast faith may guide my ways With step unfalt'ring up to Thee, And at Thy voice I may depart With joy to dwell where Thou, Lord, art; Lord, hear my supplication!

The atoning work is done

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #106 (1893) Lyrics: 1 THE atoning work is done, The Victim’s blood is shed, And Jesus now is gone His people’s cause to plead: He stands in heaven their great High Priest, And bears their names upon His breast. 2 He sprinkled with His blood The mercy-seat above; For justice had withstood The purposes of love; But justice now withstands no more, And mercy yields her boundless store. 3 No temple made with hands His place of service is; In heaven itself He stands, A heavenly priesthood His: In Him the shadows of the Law Are all fulfilled, and now withdraw. 4 And though awhile He be Hid from the eyes of men, His people look to see Their great High Priest again: In brightest glory He will come, And take His waiting people home.

The head that once was crowned with thorns

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #107 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 THE Head that once was crowned with thorns Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. 2 The highest place that heaven affords Is His by sovereign right: The King of kings and Lord of lords, And heaven's eternal Light. 3 The Joy of all who dwell above, The Joy of all below, To whom He manifests His love, And grants His name to know. 4 To them the cross, with all its shame, With all its grace, is given; Their name an everlasting name, Their joy the joy of heaven. 5 They suffer with their Lord below, They reign with Him above; Their profit and their joy to know The mystery of His love. 6 The cross He bore is life and health, Though shame and death to Him: His people's hope, His people's wealth, Their everlasting theme.
