186. Rise, Glrious Leader, Rise

1 Rise, glorious Leader, rise
Into Thy native skies,
Assume Thy right;
And where, in many a fold,
The clouds are backward roll’d,
Pass thro’ those gates of gold;
And reign in light.

2 Victor o’er death and hell,
Cherubic legions swell
Thy radiant train;
Praises all heav’n inspire;
Each angel sweeps his lyre,
And waves His wings of fire,
Thou Lamb once slain.

3 Enter, incarnate God;
No feet but Thine have trod
The serpent down.
Blow the full trumpet, blow!
Wider your portals throw!
Saviour triumphant go,
And take thy crown!
