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,
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:
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,
Gavest Immortality:
As Thine own Disciples saw Thee
Mounting victor to the sky.
 
Laud and honor to the Father,
Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three and Ever One
Consubstantial, coeternal,
While unending ages run.}}

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,
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:
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,
Gavest Immortality:
As Thine own Disciples saw Thee
Mounting victor to the sky.

Laud and honor to the Father,
Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three and Ever One
Consubstantial, coeternal,
While unending ages run.
