See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 198 hymnals Scripture: Luke 24:50 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.

Surpassing thought and fantasy that God, the Son of God, should take our mortal form for mortals' sake. 2 For us baptized, for us he bore his holy fast, and hungered sore; for us temptations sharp he knew; for us the tempter overthrew. 3 For us he prayed, for us he taught, for us the lost with love he sought, by words, and signs, and actions, he brought health and hope to set us free. 4 For us to wicked men betrayed, scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed, he bore the shameful cross and death; for us at length gave up his breath. 5 For us he rose from death again, for us he went on high to reign, for us he sent his Spirit here to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer. 6 To him whose boundless love has won salvation for us through his Son, to God the Father, glory be both now and through eternity.
