| | Translated by John Mason Neale
JESUS, Lord of Life eternal, | |
| Taking those He loved the best, | |
| Stood upon the Mount of Olives, | |
| And His own the last time blest: | |
| Then, though He had never left It, | 5 |
| Sought again His Father’s Breast. | |
| |
| Knit is now our flesh to Godhead, | |
| Knit in everlasting bands: | |
| Call the world to highest festal: | |
| Floods and oceans, clap your hands: | 10 |
| Angels, raise the song of triumph: | |
| Make response, ye distant lands. | |
| |
| Loosing Death with all its terrors | |
| Thou ascended’st up on high; | |
| And to mortals, now immortal, | 15 |
| Gavest immortality, | |
| As Thine own Disciples saw Thee | |
| Mounting Victor to the sky. | | | | |
