enters now the highest heav'n.

lift your heads, eternal gates,

Take the King of glory in!
Alleluia!

though returning to his throne,
Alleluia!
still he calls the world his own.

See! he lifts his hands above!
Alleluia!
See, he shows the prints of love!

Hark! his gracious lips bestow,
Alleluia!
blessings on his church below.
