Your rising sets us in the heights
Above the Devil’s gasping hand,
For cross has shown Yours is the might
That breaks his hold upon our land.
The earth itself in tomb can’t hold
“I AM” who rises from the dead—
Commissions us for truth He’s told
And hungry sheep by Him are fed.
For we are called to see Him raised
Above the earth to all us rule
And lead the world to give Him praise–
Will make this life a heaven’s school,
Prepares us for eternity,
As we earth’s journey in time make;
Through Son joined to God’s Trinity,
Our thirst for Triune love is slaked.
THE SOLEMNITY OF THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
