1 Ascended Christ, who gained the glory that we sing, anointed and ordained our prophet, priest, and king: by many tongues the church displays your power and praise in all her songs. 2 No titles, thrones, or powers can ever rival yours; no passing mood of ours can turn aside your laws: you reign above each other name of worth or fame, the Lord of love. 3 Now from the Father's side you make your people new; since for our sins you died our lives belong to you: from our distress you set us free for purity and holiness. 4 You call us to belong within one body here; in weakness we are strong and all your gifts we share: in you alone we are complete and at your feet with joy bow down. 5 All strength is in your hand, all power to you is given; all wisdom to command in earth and hell and heaven: beyond all words creation sings the King of kings and Lord of lords.
