362 The Lord ascendeth up on high,

1 The Lord ascendeth up on high, Loud anthems round Him swelling; The Lord hath triumphed gloriously, In power and might excelling; Hell and the grave are captive led; Lo, He returns, our glorious Head, To His eternal dwelling! 2 The heavens with joy receive their Lord, O day of exultation! By saints, by angel-hosts, adored For His so great salvation! O earth, adore thy glorious King; His rising, His ascension sing With grateful adoration! 3 By saints in earth and saints in heaven, With songs for ever blended, All praise to Christ, our King, be given, Who hath to heaven ascended; To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God of heaven's resplendent host In bright array extended!
