Ascends unto the throne of God. Alleluia!

Again shall ye behold Him so As ye today have seen Him go;
Alleluia! Alleluia! Calm soaring through the radiant sky,
Mounting its dazzling summits high. Alleluia!

May our affections there do tend, And with unwearied hearts ascend,
Alleluia! Alleluia! Toward Thy kingdom's throne where Thou
As in our faith are seated now. Alleluia!

Alleluia! Alleluia! And, as the countless ages flee,
May all our glory be in Thee! Alleluia!
