Lyrics

Hail the day that sees Him rise, Alleluia, Alleluia!
To His throne above the skies, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Christ, the Lamb for sinners given, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Enters now the highest heaven, Alleluia, Alleluia!

There the glorious triumph waits, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Lift your heads, eternal gates, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Christ hath conquered death and sin, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Take the King of glory in. Alleluia, Alleluia!

See He lifts His hands above. Alleluia, Alleluia!
See! He shows the prints of love, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Hark! His gracious lips bestow. Alleluia, Alleluia!
Blessings on His Church below, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Lord, beyond our mortal sight. Alleluia, Alleluia!
Raise our hearts to reach Thy height, Alleluia, Alleluia!
There Thy face unclouded see, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Find our heav'n of heav'ns in thee, Alleluia, Alleluia!
