The Army and Navy Hymnal/Hymns/Rise, Glorious Conqueror

by Matthew Bridges(Dort by Lowell Mason)

1. Rise, glorious Conqueror, rise;
   Into thy native skies,—
   Assume thy right;
   And where in many a fold
   The clouds are back-ward rolled—
   Pass thro' those gates of gold,
   And reign in light.
   
2. Victor o'er death and hell!
   Cherubic legions swell
   Thy radiant train:
   Praises all heaven inspire;
   Each angel sweeps his lyre,
   And waves his wings of fire,—
   Thou Lamb once slain!
   
3. Enter, incarnate God!—
   No feet but thine have trod
   The serpent down:
   Blow the full trumpets, blow!
   Wider yon portals throw!
   Saviour triumphant go,
   And take thy crown!
   
4. Lion of Judah—Hail!
   And let thy name prevail
   From age to age;
   Lord of the rolling years,
   Claim for thine own the spheres,
   For thou hast bought with tears
   Thy heritage!
   Amen.
