| 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 heavenly 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 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. |
