HYMN Lyrics Text: New Praises Be Given To Christ Newly Crowned
1. New praises be given
To Christ newly crowned
who back to His heaven
A new way hath found
God’s blessedness sharing
before us He goes.
What mansions preparing
What endless repose
2. His glory still praising
on thrice holy ground
the apostles stood gazing,
His mother around.
With hearts that beat faster,
with eyes full of love,
they watched while their master
ascended above.
3. No star can disclose Him’
the bright angels said.
Eternity knows Him
Your conquering head.
Those high habitations
He leaves not again,
till, judging all nations,
on earth he shall reign.
4. Grant, Lord, that our longing
may follow Thee there.
On earth who are thronging
Thy temples with prayer.
And unto Thee gather,
Redeemer, Thine own,
where thou with Thy Father
dost sit on the throne.
