Hail!
victorious Jesus, hail!
On Thy cloud
of glory sail
In long
triumph through the sky,
Up to
waiting worlds on high,
Up to
waiting worlds on high.
Heaven
unfolds its portals wide,
Glorious
Hero, through them ride:
King of
glory mount Thy throne,
Thy great
Father’s, and Thine own,
Thy great
Father’s, and Thine own.
Praise Him
all ye heavenly choirs,
Raptured,
sweep your sounding lyres
Sons of men,
in humbler strain,
Sing your
mighty Savior’s reign,
Sing your
mighty Savior’s reign.
Every note
with wonder swell;
Sin
o’erthrown, and captived hell!
Where is
now, O death! thy sting?
Where thy
terrors, vanquished king,
Where thy
terrors, vanquished king!
