Chorus: We love to sing around our King, And hail him blessed Jesus; For there's no word ear ever heard So dear, so sweet, as Jesus. 2 His human name they did proclaim When Abr'am's son they sealed him, The name that still, by God's good will, Deliverer revealed him. 3 And when he hung upon the tree, They wrote this name above him, That all the world might clearly see, And evermore might love him. 4 So now upon his Father's throne, Almighty to release us From sins and pains, he gladly reigns, The Prince and Saviour, Jesus.

See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 198 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 98:2 Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqu'ror mounts 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 Alleluias sing and the portals high are lifted to receive their heav'nly King. 2 Who is he 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 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 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 promised resting place, now our great Elijah offers 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 thee in glory stand; Jesus reigns, adored by angels, mighty Lord, in thine Ascension we by faith behold our own.
