Sheet music
- 1See the Conqueror mounts in triumph;See the King in royal state,Riding on the clouds, His chariot,To His heav’nly palace gate!Hark! the choirs of angel voicesJoyful alleluias sing,And the portals high are liftedTo receive their heavenly King.
- 2Who is this that comes in glory,With the trump of jubilee?Lord of battles, God of armies,He hath gained the Victory!He Who on the cross did suffer,He Who from the grave arose,He has vanquished sin and Satan;He by death has spoil’d His foes.
- 3While He raised His hands in blessing,He was parted from His friends;While their eager eyes behold Him,He upon the clouds ascends;He Who walk’d with God and pleased Him,Preaching truth and doom to come,He, our Enoch, is translatedTo His everlasting home.
- 4Now our heav’nly Aaron enters,With His blood, within the veil;Joshua now is come to Canaan,And the kings before Him quail;Now He plants the tribes of IsraelIn their promised resting place;Now our great Elijah offersDouble portion of His grace.
- 5Thou hast raised our human natureOn the clouds to God’s right hand:There we sit in heav’nly places,There with Thee in glory stand.Jesus reigns, adored by angels;Man with God is on the throne;Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension,We by faith behold our own.Amen.
