Hail! festal days to endless ages known
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, c. 530-609; Theodore A. Lacey Hymnal: The Hymnal #184 (1916) Meter: 10.10 with refrain Topics: The Ascension Day First Line: Hail! festal day! to endless ages known Lyrics:
Hail! festal day! to endless ages known,
When God ascended to his starry throne.
Now with the Lord of new and heav'nly birth,
His gifts return to grace the springing earth.
Now glows the earth with painted flowers' array,
And warmer light unbars the gates of day.
Now Christ, from gloomy hell, comes triumphing,
And field and grove with clover and leafage spring.
The reign of death o'erthrown, he mounts on high,
Sent forth with joyous praise from sea and sky.
170
Loose now the captives, loose the prison door,
The fallen, from the deep, to light restore.
A countless people, from death's fetters free,
Own thee Redeemer, join, and follow thee.
Creator and Redeemer, Christ our Light!
The One begotten of the Father's might;
Coequal, Coeternal, thou to whom
The kingdom of the world decreed shall come;
Thou, looking on our race in darkness laid,
To rescue man, true Man thyself wast made.

Hail! festal days to endless ages known
Alleluia! sing to Jesus!
Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: The Hymnal #193 (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Ascension Day Lyrics:
Alleluia! sing to Jesus!
His the scepter, His the throne;
Alleluia! His the triumph,
His the victory alone:
178
Hark! the songs of peaceful Sion
Thunder like a mighty flood;
Jesus out of every nation
Hath redeemed us by His blood.
Alleluia! not as orphans
Are we left in sorrow now;
Alleluia! He is near us,
Faith believes, nor questions how:
Though the cloud from sight received Him,
When the forty days were o'er:
Shall our hearts forget His promise,
"I am with you evermore"?
Alleluia! Bread of Heaven,
Thou on earth our Food, our Stay!
Alleluia! here the sinful
Flee to thee from day to day:
Intercessor, Friend of sinners,
Earth's Redeemer, plead for me,
Where the songs of all the sinless
Sweep across the crystal sea.
Alleluia! King eternal,
Thee the Lord of lords we own:
Alleluia! born of Mary,
Earth thy footstool, heaven thy throne:
Thou within the veil hast entered,
Robed in flesh, our great High Priest:
Thou on earth both Priest and Victim
In the Eucharistic feast.
Alleluia! sing to Jesus!
His the scepter, His the throne;
Alleluia! His the triumph,
His the victory alone;
Hark! the songs of holy Sion
Thunder like a mighty flood;
Jesus out of every nation
Hath redeemed us by his blood.
Amen.

Alleluia! sing to Jesus!
See the Conqueror mounts in triumph
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The Hymnal #522a (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Ascension Day Lyrics:
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 alleluias sing,
And the portals high are lifted
To receive their heavenly King.
Who is this that comes in glory,
With the trump of jubilee?
Lord of battles, God of armies,
He hath gained the victory!
478
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.
While he raised his hands in blessing,
He was 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.
Now our heavenly 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.
Thou hast raised our human nature
On 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.
Amen.

Tune Title: IN BABILONE
See the Conqueror mounts in triumph
Crown Him with many crowns
Author: Matthew Bridges Hymnal: The Hymnal #190 (1916) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: The Ascension Day Lyrics:
Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon his throne;
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own:
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity.
Crown Him the Son of God
Before the worlds began,
And ye, who tread where He hath trod,
Crown him the Son of Man;
Who every grief hath known
That wrings the human breast,
And takes and bears them for His own,
That all in him may rest.
Crown Him the Lord of Life,
Who triumphed o'er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save;
His glories now we sing
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died, eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
Crown Him of lords the Lord,
Who over all doth reign,
Who once on earth, the Incarnate Word,
For ransomed sinners slain,
Now lives in realms of light,
Where saints with angels sing
Their songs before Him day and night,
Their God, Redeemer, King.
Crown Him the Lord of heaven,
Enthroned in worlds above;
Crown Him the King, to Whom is given
The wondrous name of Love.
Crown Him with many crowns,
As thrones before him fall,
Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns,
For he is King of all.

Hail, Thou once despised Jesus!
Author: John Bakewell; Martin Madan; Augustus M.Toplady Hymnal: The Hymnal #191a (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Ascension Day Lyrics:
Hail, Thou once despised Jesus!
Hail, thou Galilean King!
Thou didst suffer to release us;
Thou didst free salvation bring.
Hail, Thou agonizing Savior,
Bearer of our sin and shame!
By Thy merit we find favor:
Life is given through Thy Name.
Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
All our sins on Thee were laid:
By almighty love anointed,
Thou hast full atonement made.
All Thy people are forgiven
Through the virtue of Thy blood:
Opened is the gate of heaven,
Peace is made 'twixt man and God.
Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
There for ever to abide;
All the heavenly hosts adore Thee,
Seated at thy Father's side.
There for sinners Thou art pleading:
There Thou dost our place prepare;
Ever for us interceding,
Till in glory we appear.
Worship, honor, power, and blessing
Thou art worthy to receive:
Loudest praises, without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give.
Help, ye bright angelic spirits!
Bring your sweetest, noblest lays!
Help to sing our Savior's merits!
Help to chant Emmanuel's praise!
Amen.

Hail, Thou once despised Jesus!
Golden harps are sounding
Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: The Hymnal #560a (1916) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.5.6.5.6.5.6.5 Topics: The Ascension Day Lyrics:
Golden harps are sounding,
Angel voices sing,
Pearly gates are opened,
Opened for the King;
Jesus, King of glory,
Jesus, King of love,
Is gone up in triumph,
To his throne above.
All his work is ended,
Joyfully we sing,
Jesus hath ascended!
Glory to our King!
He who came to save us,
He who bled and died,
Now is crowned with glory
At his Father's side.
Nevermore to suffer,
Nevermore to die;
Jesus, King of glory,
Is gone up on high!
Pleading for his children
In that blessèd place,
Calling them to glory,
Sending them his grace;
522
His bright home preparing,
Faithful ones, for you;
Jesus ever liveth
Ever loveth too.
Amen.

Golden harps are sounding
Look, ye saints; the sight is glorious
Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Hymnal #185a (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Topics: The Ascension Day Lyrics:
Look, ye saints; the sight is glorious;
See the "Man of sorrows" now;
From the fight returned victorious,
Every knee to Him shall bow;
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crowns become the Victor's brow.
Crown the Savior, angels crown Him;
Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
On the seat of power enthrone Him,
While the vault of heaven rings;
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown the Savior King of kings.
Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus Messiah's claim;
Saints and angels crowd around Him,
Own his title, praise his Name:
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Spread abroad the Victor's fame!
Hark! those bursts of acclamation!
Hark! those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station;
O what joy the sight affords!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
King of kings, and Lord of lords.

Look, ye saints; the sight is glorious
O God of God! O Light of Light!
Author: John Julian Hymnal: The Hymnal #251 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: The Ascension Day Lyrics:
O God of God! O Light of Light!
Thou Prince of Peace, thou King of kings,
To thee, where angels know no night,
The song of praise for ever rings:
To him who sits upon the throne,
The Lamb once slain for sinful men,
Be honour, might; all by him won;
Glory and praise! Amen, Amen!
Deep in the prophets' sacred page,
Grand in the poets' wingèd word,
Slowly in type, from age to age,
Nations beheld their coming Lord;
Till through the deep Judean night
Rang out the song, "Goodwill to men!"
Hymned by the first-born sons of light,
Re-echoed now, "Goodwill!" Amen!
That life of truth, those deeds of love,
That death of pain, mid hate and scorn;
These all are past, and now above
He reigns our King! once crowned with thorn.
Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates;
So sang his hosts, unheard by men;
Lift up your heads, for you he waits.
We lift them up! Amen, Amen!
Nations afar, in ignorance deep;
Isles of the sea, where darkness lay:
These hear his voice, they wake from sleep,
And throng with joy the upward way.
They cry with us, "Send forth thy light,"
O Lamb, once slain for sinful men;
Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might;
Set all men free! Amen, Amen!
Sing to the Lord a glorious song,
Sing to his Name, his love forth tell;
Sing on, heaven's hosts, his praise prolong;
Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell:
Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain,
From angels, praise; and thanks from men;
Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign,
Glory and power! Amen, Amen!
Amen.

Praise the Lord through every nation
Author: Rhijnvis Feith; James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal #262 (1916) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Ascension Day Lyrics:
Praise the Lord through every nation;
His holy arm hath wrought salvation;
Exalt him on his Father's throne.
Praise your King, ye Christian legions,
Who now prepares in heavenly regions
Unfailing mansions for his own:
With voice and minstrelsy
Extol his majesty:
Alleluia!
His praise shall sound all nature round,
Where'er the race of man is found.
God with man dominion sharing,
And Man with God our image bearing,
Gentile and Jew to him are given:
Praise your Savior, ransomed sinners,
Of life, through him, immortal winners:
No longer heirs of earth, but heaven.
O beatific sight
To view his face in light!
Alleluia!
And while we see, transformed to be
From bliss to bliss eternally.
Jesus, Lord, our Captain glorious,
O'er sin, and death, and hell victorious,
Wisdom and might to thee belong:
We confess, proclaim, adore thee;
We bow the knee, we fall before thee,
Thy love henceforth shall be our song.
The cross meanwhile we bear,
The crown ere long to wear:
Alleluia!
Thy reign extend world without end,
Let praise from all to thee ascend.
Amen.
