Rise, Glorious Conqueror, Rise
}
Rise, glorious Conqueror, rise
Into Thy native skies-
Assume Thy right;
And where in many a fold
The clouds are backward rolled-
Pass through those gates of gold,
And reign in light!

Victor o'er death and hell!
Cherubic legions swell
Thy radiant train:
Praises all heaven inspire;
Each angel sweeps his lyre,
And waves his wings of fire,
Thou Lamb once slain!

Enter incarnate God!-
No feet but Thine, have trod
The serpent down:
Blow the full trumpets, blow!
Wider yon portals throw!
Saviour triumphant-go,
And take Thy crown!

Lion of Judah-Hail!
And let Thy name prevail
From age to age;
Lord of the rolling years!
Claim for Thine own the spheres,
For Thou hast bought with tears
Thy heritage.

And then was heard afar
Star answering to star-
"Lo! these have come
Followers of Him who gave
His life their lives to save;
And now their palms they wave,
Brought safely home."
