Sing We Triumphant Hymns

Sing we triumphant hymns of praise!
New songs to heav’n exulting raise!
Christ, by a road before untrod,
ascends unto the throne of God.

To us the shining angels cry,
“Why stand and gaze upon the sky?
This is the Savior!” Thus they say,
“This is his glorious triumph day!”

“You see him now, ascending high
above the stars, beyond the sky.
Hereafter, Jesus you shall see
returning in great majesty.”

O risen Christ, ascended now,
at your blest name all knees shall bow;
you are, while endless ages run,
in Triune God forever One.
