Hail! festal days to endless ages known

Author: Venantius Fortunatus, c. 530-609; Theodore A. Lacey Hymnal: The Hymnal #184 (1916) Meter: 10.10 with refrain Topics: The Ascension Day First Line: Hail! festal day! to endless ages known Lyrics: Hail! festal day! to endless ages known, When God ascended to his starry throne. Now with the Lord of new and heav'nly birth, His gifts return to grace the springing earth. Now glows the earth with painted flowers' array, And warmer light unbars the gates of day. Now Christ, from gloomy hell, comes triumphing, And field and grove with clover and leafage spring. The reign of death o'erthrown, he mounts on high, Sent forth with joyous praise from sea and sky. 170 Loose now the captives, loose the prison door, The fallen, from the deep, to light restore. A countless people, from death's fetters free, Own thee Redeemer, join, and follow thee. Creator and Redeemer, Christ our Light! The One begotten of the Father's might; Coequal, Coeternal, thou to whom The kingdom of the world decreed shall come; Thou, looking on our race in darkness laid, To rescue man, true Man thyself wast made.

See the Conqueror mounts in triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The Hymnal #522a (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Ascension Day Lyrics: 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. Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory! 478 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. While 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 walked with God and pleased him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated To his everlasting home. Now our heavenly 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 Israel In their promised resting-place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of his grace. 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. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: REX GLORIAE

Crown Him with many crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges Hymnal: The Hymnal #190 (1916) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: The Ascension Day Lyrics: Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon his throne; Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns All music but its own: Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless King Through all eternity. Crown Him the Son of God Before the worlds began, And ye, who tread where He hath trod, Crown him the Son of Man; Who every grief hath known That wrings the human breast, And takes and bears them for His own, That all in him may rest. Crown Him the Lord of Life, Who triumphed o'er the grave, And rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save; His glories now we sing Who died, and rose on high, Who died, eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die. Crown Him of lords the Lord, Who over all doth reign, Who once on earth, the Incarnate Word, For ransomed sinners slain, Now lives in realms of light, Where saints with angels sing Their songs before Him day and night, Their God, Redeemer, King. Crown Him the Lord of heaven, Enthroned in worlds above; Crown Him the King, to Whom is given The wondrous name of Love. Crown Him with many crowns, As thrones before him fall, Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, For he is King of all. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

Crown Him with Many Crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges; Godfrey Thring Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #92 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Ascension Day Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne; hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own; awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless king through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the grave, and rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save; his glories now we sing who died and rose on high, who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified; no angels in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bends their burning eye at mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of years, the potentate of time, creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. Scripture: John 5:12-13 Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

Our Lord has risen from the dead

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #95 (1908) Topics: Ascension Day Lyrics: 1 Our Lord is risen from the dead; Our Jesus is gone up on high; The pow'rs of hell are captive led-- Dragged to the portals of the sky. 2 There His triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay: "Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates! Ye everlasting doors, give way!" 3 Loose all your bars of massy light, And wide unfold the ethereal scene; He claims these mansions as His right: Receive the King of glory in. 4 "Who is this King of glory, who?" The Lord who all His foes o'ercame, The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew; And Jesus is the Conqu'ror’s name. Languages: English Tune Title: HURSLEY

We thank Thee , Jesus! dearest Friend

Author: Nicolaus Selnecker; Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #96 (1908) Topics: Ascension Day Lyrics: 1 We thank Thee, Jesus! dearest Friend, That Thou didst into heav'n ascend; O blessed Savior! bid us live, And strength to soul and body give. 2 Now His disciples all rejoice, And sing His praise with cheerful voice: Come, let us grateful off'rings bring, Our Brother is our God and King. 3 Ascended to His throne on high, He yet to us is always nigh; True God and man He ever reigns, And infinite in power remains. 4 Above the heav'ns in glory raised, By angel hosts forever praised, All creatures His dominion own, He holds an everlasting throne. 5 He rules and reigns at God's right hand, And has all power at His command, All things are subject to His rod-- The Son of man and Son of God. 6 The world, and sin, and Satan fell He overthrew, with death and hell; Dispute who will His mighty reign, He still the Victor must remain. 7 The man who trusts in Him is blest, And finds in Him eternal rest; This world's allurements we despise, And fix on Christ alone our eyes. 8 He richest consolation gives, Who once was dead but ever lives; He captive led captivity, From bitter death to set us free. 9 With deepest joy our voice we raise, And sing our grateful song of praise; Our Brother, our own flesh and bone, Is God and King, our joy alone. 10 Through Him we heirs of heaven are made; O Brother, Christ! extend Thine aid, That we may ever trust in Thee, And live by faith eternally. 11 Amen, amen, O Lord! we cry; Do Thou, who art exalted high, In Thy pure faith preserve our hearts, And shield us from all Satan's darts. 12 Come, blessed Lord! to judgment come, And take us to our glorious home, That all our woes on earth may cease, And we may dwell in heavenly peace. 13 A glad Amen shall close our song, Our souls for rest in glory long, Where we with angel-hosts again Shall sing in nobler strains Amen!

Lord, on earth I dwell sad hearted

Author: Caspar Neumann; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #97 (1908) Topics: Ascension Day Lyrics: 1 Lord, on earth I dwell sad-hearted, Here I oft must mourn and sigh; Wherefore hast Thou then departed, Why didst Thou ascend on high? Take me, take me hence with Thee, Or abide, Lord, still with me; Let Thy love and gifts be left, That I be not all bereft. 2 Leave Thy heart still inly near me, Take mine hence where Thou art gone, Open heav'n to me, and hear me, When to Thee I cry alone; When I cannot pray, O plead With Thy Father in my stead; Seated now at God's right hand, Help us here, Thy faithful band. 3 Worldly joys I cast behind me, Let me choose the better part, And though mortal chains yet bind me, Heav'nward tend my thoughts and heart; That my time through faith may be Ordered for eternity; Till we rise, all perils o'er, Whither Thou hast gone before. 4 Then return, the promise keeping, That was made to us of old; Raise the members that are sleeping, Gnaw'd of death, beneath the mould; Judge the evil world that deems Thy sure words but empty dreams; And for all our sorrows past Let us know Thy joy at last.

There he wins our full salvation, dies that we may die no more; then arising, lives for ever, reigning where he was before. 4 High on yon celestial mountains stands his sapphire throne, all bright, midst unending alleluias bursting from the saints in light; Sion's people tell his praises, victor after hard-won fight. 5 Bring your harps, and bring your incense, sweep the string and pour the lay; let the earth proclaim his wonders, King of that celestial day; he the Lamb once slain is worthy, who was dead, and lives for ay. 6 Laud and honour to the Father, laud and honour to the Son, laud and honour to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One, consubstantial, co-eternal, while unending ages run.
