Author: Bishop Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The Hymnal #173 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Ascension; Christ Ascension; Christ Conqueror, The Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqueror mounts in triumph,
See the King in royal state,
Riding on the clouds, His chariot,
To His heavenly palace gate:
Hark! The choirs of angel voices
Joyful alleluias sing,
And the portals high are lifted
To receive their heavenly King.
2 Who is this that comes in glory
With the trump of jubilee?
Lord of battles, God of armies,
He has 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 spoiled His foes.
3 Thou hast raised our human nature
In the clouds to God's right hand;
There we sit in heavenly places,
There with Him 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. Tune Title: ST. ASAPH
