Author: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #224 (2013) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: 1 Ascended Christ, who gained
the glory that we sing,
anointed and ordained,
our Prophet, Priest and King:
by many tongues
the Church displays
your power and praise
in all her songs.
2 No titles, thrones, or powers
can ever rival yours;
no passing mood of ours
can turn aside your laws:
you reign above
each other name
of worth or fame,
the Lord of love!
3 Now from your Father's side
you make your people new;
since for our sins you died
our lives belong to you:
from our distress
you set us free
for purity
and holiness.
4 You call us to belong
within one body here;
in weakness we are strong
and all your gifts we share:
in you alone
we are complete
and at your feet
with joy bow down.
5 All strength is in your hand,
all power to you is given;
all wisdom to command
in earth and hell and heaven:
beyond all words
creation sings
the King of kings
and Lord of lords. Topics: Ascension Day; Ascension Day; Atonement; Church Body of Christ; Church Universal; Church Worship; Church Year Ascension; Holiness; Jesus Names and images for; Jesus priesthood; Praise; Renewal Scripture: Matthew 28:18 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTCHURCH
