Verse 1

CHRIST, above all glory seated! King triumphant, strong to save! Dying, Thou hast death defeated; Buried, Thou hast spoiled the grave.

Verse 2

Thou art gone where now is given, What no mortal might could gain, On the eternal throne of heaven, In Thy Father’s power to reign.

Verse 3

There Thy kingdoms all adore Thee, Heaven above and earth below; While the depths of hell before Thee Trembling and defeated bow.

Verse 4

We, O Lord, with hearts adoring, Follow Thee above the sky; Hear our prayers Thy grace imploring, Lift our souls to Thee on high.

Verse 5

So when Thou again in glory On the clouds of heaven shalt shine, We Thy flock may stand before Thee, Owned for evermore as Thine.

Verse 6

Hail! all hail! In Thee confiding, Jesus, Thee shall all adore, In Thy Father’s might abiding With one Spirit evermore! Amen.
