Harmonized three different ways, two of which are "standard" (and differ only in minor details) and the third of which is in a more festive style with an optional soprano descant. The text is a translation by John Mason Neale, from the Greek, of Ode IV from Canon for Ascension Day by Joseph of the Studium; hence, it is particularly appropriate for Ascension.
