A hymn of glory let us sing;

New songs throughout t

By a new way none ever trod

Christ mounteth to

the throne of God.

The apostles on

the mountain stand,

The mystic mount, in Holy Land;

They with the virgin mother, see

Jesus ascend in majesty.

They said the Lord should

As the beheld Him rising then,

Calm soaring through the

Mounting its dazzling summits high.

May our affections thither tend,

And thither constantly ascend,

Where, seated on the Father’s throne,

Thee reigning in the heavens we own!

Be Thou our present joy, Oh Lord!

May all our glory be in Thee!
