God Is Ascended Up On High

God is ascended up on high, Alleluia. With merry noise of trumpet’s sound, Alleluia. And princely seated in the sky, Alleluia. Rules over all the world around. Alleluia.

In human shape and flesh He went, Alleluia. Adornèd with His passion’s scars, Alleluia. Which in heaven’s sight He did present Alleluia. More glorious than the glittering stars. Alleluia.

Lord, raise our sinking minds therefore Alleluia. Up to our proper country dear, Alleluia. And purify us evermore, Alleluia. To fit for those regions clear. Alleluia.
