[Verse 1]
The Lord arose from death's dark night,
And showed Himself to chosen men;
He walked with them in holy light,
And taught His sacred truths again.
He set in order all things meet,
Before He left this world below;
Then bade His saints in patience wait,
Till Heaven's promised fire should flow.
[Chorus]
O risen Lord, ascended King,
To Thee our hearts and lives we bring;
Through Thee we live, through Thee we rise,
To dwell with God beyond the skies.
[Verse 2]
They asked Him of the days to come,
Of Israel's hope and kingdom bright;
He gave them words to guide them home,
And filled their hearts with truth and light.
Then while they gazed with wondering eyes,
He rose above the earthly plain;
Upward He went beyond the skies,
Till clouds received their Lord again.
[Chorus]
O risen Lord, ascended King,
To Thee our hearts and lives we bring;
Through Thee we live, through Thee we rise,
To dwell with God beyond the skies.
[Verse 3]
They stood and watched the heavens wide,
Their Master taken from their sight;
Then angels came and stood beside,
Arrayed in garments pure and bright.
"Ye men of faith, why gaze ye so?
Stand fast in Him whom ye adore;
This same dear Lord, whom ye now know,
Shall come again for evermore."
[Chorus]
O risen Lord, ascended King,
To Thee our hearts and lives we bring;
Through Thee we live, through Thee we rise,
To dwell with God beyond the skies.
[Verse 4]
None holy as our Father is,
Yet holiness He seeks in all;
He gave His Son, that we through His
Redeeming blood might heed His call.
No soul can wake, nor breathe, nor stand,
Except the Father grants His grace;
Through Christ we live beneath His hand,
And walk as lights before His face.
[Chorus]
O risen Lord, ascended King,
To Thee our hearts and lives we bring;
Through Thee we live, through Thee we rise,
To dwell with God beyond the skies.
[Verse 5]
Surrender now thy heart and will
To God the Father through the Son;
Be cleansed, be holy, and be still,
Until thy earthly race is run.
Then when this passing life is past,
And all its shadows flee away,
Thy soul shall find a home at last
In Heaven's bright and endless day.
[Final Chorus]
O risen Lord, ascended King,
To Thee our hearts and lives we bring;
Through Thee we live, through Thee we rise,
To dwell with God beyond the skies.
