[Verse 1] Jesus Christ, he bore my sins upon the cross He rose in glory on the third day and shattered death beneath his feet From the tomb he rose victorious, as foretold in the holy scriptures He ascended unto the Father and sent the spirit at Pentecost He shall come again in glory to judge the living and the dead (Ascension, ascension, ascension, ascension) (Glory to Jesus, Jesus Christ reigns forevermore) [Verse 2] All who die in Christ shall rise again, as Lazarus rose at his command Elijah was born to heaven in a chariot of holy fire But Christ ascended in glory to the right hand of God the Father He conquered death, he conquered sin, he crushed the power of Satan And he shall come again in glory at the consummation of the age (Ascension, ascension, ascension, ascension) (Glory to Jesus, Jesus Christ reigns forevermore) [Verse 3] (Christ is born, Christ has suffered, Christ is risen, Christ will drain forevermore) (Crucified, he is risen) [Verse 4] Christ is risen from the dead, by death he traveled down death, and upon those in the tombs he bestowed eternal life (Ascension, ascension, ascension, ascension) (Glory to Jesus, Jesus Christ reigns forevermore) [Verse 5] Ascension, ascension, ascension (Glory to Jesus, Jesus Christ reigns forevermore) [Verse 6] As saints in glory shine like stars, each radiant in the heavenly light Ascension, the pure graces, we shall stand, our scarlet sins washed by the snow Arrayed in robes of spotless white, before the throne of God most high Ascension, that his table we shall feast in the kingdom that shall never cease The marriage supper of the lamb, the everlasting joy of God (Ascension) No more sorrow, no more dying, no more night, no more tears, nor pain For we shall dwell with Christ forever, and death shall never reign again Forever and ever unto the ages of ages, amen
