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 hallelujahs 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, On the clouds to God's right hand; There we sit in heavenly 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. 4 Lift us up from earth to heaven, Give us wings of faith and love, Gales of holy aspirations, Wafting us to realms above; That, with hearts and minds uplifted, We with Christ our Lord may dwell, Where he sits enthroned in glory, In the heavenly citadel. 5 So at last, when he appeareth, We from out our graves may spring, With our youth renewed like eagles', Flocking round our heavenly King, Caught up on the clouds of heaven, And may meet him in the air Rise to realms where he is reigning, And may reign for ever there.
