Hymn CV. Common Metre. The Resurrection and Ascension of Christ

Hosanna! to the prince of life, Who cloth'd himself in clay; Enter'd the gloomy shades of death, And rose to endless day,

Death is no more the King of dread, Since our Immanuel rose; He took the monster's sting away, And crush'd our hellish foes.

See how the conqueror mounts aloft, And to his father flies! With fears of honour in his flesh, And triumph in his eyes.

There our exalted Saviour reigns, A priest upon his throne; And to supply his place on earth, He sent his spirit down.

Raise your devotion, mortal tongues, To reach that blest abode; Let heaven and earth with praise resound, To the immortal God.
