Ascension Day Hymn

1.

O Christ, our God,

Your flesh and blood

Fill all of earth and heaven,

Ascended now,

Still here below,

You speak our sins forgiven.

And Satan must

Now lick the dust

And Hell before you cower;

And we by faith

Will conquer death,

By your own grace and power.

2.

Believers, why,

Look to the sky,

As if your Lord were leaving?

He still is here,

And will appear,

But now His gifts is giving.

His holy Word,

The Spirit’s sword,

Still pierces through our spirit,

Rebukes our sin,

And enters in

With Jesus’ blood and merit.

3.

True God of God,

He climbed the road

That led him to the Father,

Whose law and will

He did fulfill,

Our servant and our brother.

Sin must retreat

Beneath his feet,

As he sends strength from Zion:

Apostles teach,

And pastors preach

The truth the poor rely on. 

4. 

So fear no harm -

See Christ disarm

The power of the devil.

At God’s right hand

Our Lord will stand

And rescue us from evil.

He fills all things

And thus he brings

His sacraments of healing,

His Gospel’s pow’r,

Which every hour,

His mercy is revealing. 

5. 

Cry out to him,

Let doubt not dim

The praises of your Savior!

The means of grace,

His Holy Place,

Assure you of his favor;

And seated there

With Christ you share

A heritage unfading,

Which through all tears,

And pains and fears

In Heav’n for you is waiting.
