SEE THE CONQUEROR MOUNT IN TRIUMPH
1. See the
Conqu'ror mount in triumph,
See the king in
royal state
Riding on the
clouds His chariot
To His heav'nly
palace gate;
Hark! The Choirs of
angel voices
Joyful hallelujahs
sing,
And the portals
high are lifted
To receive, To
receive,
To receive their
heav'nly King.
2. Who is this that
comes in glory,
With the trump of jubilee?
Lord of battles,
God of armies,
He has gained the
victory ;
He who on the cross
did suffer,
He who from the
grave arose,
He has vanquished
sin and Satan,
He by death, He by
death,
He by death has
spoiled His foes.
3. While He lifts
His hands in blessing,
He is parted from
His friends;
While their eager
eyes behold Him,
He upon the clouds
ascends ;
He who walked with
God and pleased Him,
Preaching truth and
doom to come,
He, our Enoch, is
translated
To His home, to His
home,
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 lsrael
In their promised
resting-place;
Now our great
Elijah offers
Of His grace, of
His grace,
Double portion of
His grace.
5. He has raised
our human nature
On the clouds to
God's right hand ;
There we sit in
heav'nly places,
There with Him in
glory stand.
Jesus reigns,
adored by angels;
Man with God is on
the throne.
Mighty Lord, in
Thine ascension
We by faith, we by
faith,
We by faith behold
our own.
