176 ~ Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise
1
Hail the day that sees Him rise, Alleluia! Glorious to His native skies; Alleluia! Christ, awhile to mortals giv'n, Alleluia! Enters now the highest heav'n! Alleluia!
2
There the glorious triumph waits; Alleluia! Lift your heads, eternal gates! Alleluia! Wide unfold the radiant scene; Alleluia! Take the King of glory in! Alleluia!
3
See! He lifts His hands above; Alleluia! See! He shows the prints of love: Alleluia! Hark! His gracious lips bestow, Alleluia! Blessings on His Church below. Alleluia!
4
Lord beyond our mortal sight, Alleluia! Raise our hearts to reach Thy height, Alleluia! There Thy face unclouded see, Alleluia! Find our heav'n of heav'ns in Thee. Alleluia!
