Author: Keith Getty, b. 1974; Stuart Townend, b. 1963 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Mark 16:1-6 Topics: Jesus Christ: Risen and Ascended Used With Tune: [See what a morning, gloriously bright]
See what a morning, gloriously bright
See, the Lord Ascends in Triumph
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 198 hymnals Scripture: Mark 16:19 Lyrics: 1 See, the Lord ascends in triumph:
Conqu'ring King in royal state,
Riding on the clouds, His chariot,
To His heav'nly palace gate.
Hark! The choirs of angel voices
Joyful alleluias sing,
And the portals high are lifted
To receive their heav'nly 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 crushed His foes.
3 While He lifts His hands in blessing,
He is 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.
4 Now our heav'nly 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.
5 He has raised our human nature
On the clouds to God's right hand;
There we sit in heav'nly places,
There with Him in glory stand.
Jesus reigns, adored by angels;
Man with God is on the throne.
By our mighty Lord's ascension
We by faith behold our own.

Send the Light
Author: Anon.; Chas. Edw. Pollock Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Mark 16:15 First Line: There are lands far away o'er the sea Refrain First Line: Send the light o'er the sea Lyrics: 1 There are lands far away o'er the sea,
Where in darkness lost souls seek the light,
And the call is to you and to me,
Who are walking the "path shining bright."
Chorus:
Send the light o'er the sea,
In the dark heathen lands let it shine;
Till the whole world should walk,
In the light of the gospel divine.
2 In the darkness of error they grope,
And the Saviour in whom we abide
Cannot cheer with the bright ray of hope,
Till we teach them to walk by his side. [Chorus]
3 Bearing light is a part we may do,
Holding high that it may reach afar,
And the soft rays of truth may anew
Shine on earth from the bright morning star. [Chorus]
4 Those who lead souls to light all divine,
Those who tell of God's wonderful love,
As the bright stars forever shall shine
In that beautiful land far above. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [There are lands far away o'er the sea] Text Sources: "Foreign Mission Journal," In
