A HYMN OF GLORY LET US SING

A hymn of glory let us sing!

New songs throughout

the world shall ring:

Alleluia, alleluia!

Christ, by a road before untrod,

ascends unto the throne of God.

Alleluia, alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Benjamin Webb (1819-1885)

upon the Mount of Olives stand,

Alleluia, alleluia!

and with his followers they see

their Lord ascend in majesty.
