LyicsTriumphant Christ ascends on high,
The glorious work complete;
Sin, death, and hell, now vanquished lie
Beneath his awful feet.
There with eternal glory crowned,
The Lord, the Conqueror, reigns;
His praise the heavenly choirs resound,
In their immortal strains.
Amid the splendors of his throne,
Unchanging love appears;
The names he purchased for his own,
Still on his heart he beats.
Oh, the rich depths of love divine!
Of bliss a boundless store:
Dear Savior, let me call thee mine;
I can not wish for more.
