Author: Arthur Russell, 1806-1874 Hymnal: Common Praise #173b (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 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. Topics: Ascension; Easter VII Year B; Proper 25 Year B Scripture: Colossians 2:15 Languages: English Tune Title: NUN FREUT EUCH
