LyicsRISE, glorious Conqu'ror, rise
Into Thy native skies--
Assume Thy right;
And where, in many a fold,
The clouds are backward foll'd,
Pass through those gates of gold,
And reign in light!
Victor o'er death and hell!
Cherubic legions swell
Thy radiant train;
Praises all heav'n 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 trumpets--blow!
Wider yon portals throw!
Saviour, triumphant go,
And take Thy crown!
Lion of Judah, hail!
And let Thy name prevail
From age to age;
Lord of the rolling years,
Claim for Thine own the spheres,
For Thou hast bought with tears
Thy heritage.
