Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- O Christ, our Joy, gone up on high
- To fill Thy throne above the sky,
- How glorious dost Thou shine!
- Thy sovereign rule the worlds obey,
- And earthly joys all fade away
- In that pure light of Thine.
- 2.
- To Thee in prayer Thy people bow;
- O may our sins Thy pardon know,
- The cleansing of Thy grace;
- Then lift our hearts to Thee above,
- On wings of faithfulness and love,
- To seek Thy holy place.
- 3.
- So, when the sudden call shall sound,
- And with Thy robe of clouds around
- Thou, Christ, shalt come once more,
- Thyself our Judge may’st turn away
- The penalty our sins should pay
- And our lost crowns restore.
- 4.
- Ascended up from mortal sight,
- Jesu, we praise Thee in the height,
- Our Joy, our great Reward;
- Whom with the Father we confess
- And with the Holy Spirit bless,
- One ever glorious Lord.
