Lyics

Head of the Church triumphant!

We joyfully adore thee;

Till thou appear, thy members here

Shall sing like those in glory.



We life our hearts and voices

In blest anticipation,

And cry aloud, and give to God

The praise of our salvation.



Faith now beholds the glory

To which thou wilt restore us;

Earth we despise for that high praise

Which thou hast set before us.



And if thou count us worthy,

We each, as dying Stephen,

Shall see thee stand at God's right hand,

To take us up to heaven.
