LyicsRISE, glorious Leader, rise
Into thy native skies-
Assume thy right;
And where, in many a fold,
The clouds are backward rolled,
Pass through those gates of gold,
And reign in light.
Victor o'er death and hell,
Cherubic legions swell
Thy radiant train;
Praises all heaven inspire;
Each angel sweeps his lyre,
And waves his wings of fire,
Thou Lamb once slain!
Enter, incarnate God:
No feet but thine have trod
The serpent down.
Blow the full trumpet-blow!
Wider your portals throw!
Saviour, triumphant go,
And take thy crown!
