See the Conqueror mounts in triumph

1.

See the Conqueror mounts in triumph

See the King in royal state

Riding on the clouds His chariot

To the heavenly palace gate;

Hark, the choirs of angel sing,

Joyful Hallelujahs sing

And the portals high are lifted

To receive, their heav’nly King

2.

Who is this that comes in glory

With the trump of jubilee?

Lord of battles, God is armies

He has gain’d the victory;

He who on the cross did suffer

He who from the grave arose

He has vanquish’d sin and satan

He by death has spoil’d His foes

3.

While He raised His hands in blessing

He was parted from His friends

While their eager eyes behold Him,

He upon the clouds ascends;

He who walk’d with God and pleased Him,

Preaching truth and doom to come

He, our Enoch is translated

To His everlasting home

4.

Now our heav’nly Aaron enters

With His blood within the veil

Joshua now is come to Canaan

And the kings before him quail;

Now He plants the tribes of Israel

In their promises resting place

Now our great Elijah offers

Double portion of His grace

5.

Thou hast raised our human nature

In the clouds to God’s right hand

There we sit in heav’nly places

There with Thee in glory stand

Jesus reigns adored by angels

Man with God is on the throne

Mighty Lord in Thine ascension

We by faith behold our own
