O King most high of earth and sky
Author: William Blew, 1808-94 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #131 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: The Christian Year Ascensiontide Lyrics: 1 O King most high of earth and sky
On prostrate death thou treadest,
And with thy blood dost mark the road
Whereby to heaven thou leadest.
2 O Christ, behold thine orphaned fold,
Which thou hast borne with anguish,
Steeped in the tide from thy rent side;
O leave us not to languish!
3 The glorious gain of all thy pain
Henceforth dost thou inherit;
Now comes the hour--then gently shower
On us thy promised Spirit!

O King most high of earth and sky
Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem
Author: Job Hupton, 1762-1849; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #131 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Ascensiontide Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem,
cleave the skies with shouts of praise;
sing to him who found the ransom,
Ancient of eternal days,
God of God, the Word incarnate,
whom the heav'n of heav'n obeys.
2 Ere he raised the lofty mountains,
formed the seas, or built the sky,
love eternal, free and boundless,
moved the Lord of life to die,
fore-ordained the Prince of princes
for the throne of Calvary.
3 There, for us and our redemption,
see him all his life-blood pour!
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. Scripture: Daniel 7:9 Languages: English Tune Title: NEANDER (UNSER HERRSCHER)
Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem
Our Lord is risen from the dead
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #132 (1920) Topics: Lent Ascensiontide Lyrics: 1 Our Lord is risen from the dead;
Our Jesus is gone up on high;
The pow'rs of hell are captive led,
Dragg'd to the portals of the sky.

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 radiant scene;
He claims those mansions as His right;
Receive the King of glory in.
4 Who is the King of glory, Who!
The Lord that all His foes o'ercame.
The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew;
And Jesus is the conqueror's name.
5 Lo! His triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay:
"Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates,"
Ye everlasting doors, give way.
6 Who is this King of glory, Who?
The Lord of boundless pow'r possess'd
The King of saints and angels, too,
God, over all for ever blest. Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET

And angels chant the solemn lay:
"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates,"
Ye everlasting doors, give way.

The King of saints and angels too,
God over all, forever blest.

See the Conqueror mounts in triumph
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #132 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Christian Year Ascensiontide 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 alleluyas 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
In 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 Glory be to God the Father;
Glory be to God the Son,
Dying, risen, ascending for us,
Who the heavenly realm has won;
Glory to the Holy Spirit;
To One God in persons Three;
Glory both in earth and heaven,
Glory, endless glory be. Amen.

The head that once was crowned with thorns

The mighty victor's brow.

Is his, is his by right,
The King of kings and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal light;

The joy of all below,
To whom he manifests his love,
And grants his name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame.
With all its grace is given:
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with him above,
Their profit and their joy to know
The mystery of his love.
6 The cross he bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to him;
His people's hope, his people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme. Languages: English Tune Title: ST MAGNUS

The Lord ascendeth up on high
Crown him with many crowns

can fully bear that sight,
but downward bends his burning eye
at mysteries so bright.

whose pow'r a sceptre sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease,
absorbed in prayer and praise:
his reign shall know no end,
and round his piercèd feet
fair flow'rs of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.
5 Crown him the Lord of years,

Creator of the rolling spheres,

throughout eternity. Scripture: Daniel 7:9 Languages: English Tune Title: CORONA
