1

He springs, he rises from the ground
He cleaves the yielding sky.
Then Earth, the heavens with joy resound,
That Saviour mounts on high.

2

O Wondrous proof of power divine
The God, the God ascends;
With what a lustre does he shine,
And what a train attends.

3

The cherubim & seraphim
Crowd thick his azure way;
And hark in one continued hymn
Their duteous homage pay.

4

Hear this ye nations and adore;
The Era is begun,
When time and death — their ravage o'er —
Lie vanquished by the Son.

5

Again he'll in the clouds appear;
When — all-tremendous thought —
For what we've live & acted here,
Shall be to judgement brought.

6

The wicked in the depths of hell,
To wail eternal woe;
The righteous with their Lord to dwell,
Where joys immortal flow.
