1 Christ is going to the Father; heaven and hell and earth, attend! Marked by blood, in death made perfect, see the Man to God ascend. Love was captured, cursed and murdered; in the losing, love has won; in the dying, love has risen; by its ruin, gained a throne. 2 Christ is going to the Father, from the world he came to save, bringing life to those who listen, raised in wonder from their grave. Eldest of a new creation, Head of all, he leads the way, calling, drawing all who follow, sharing his ascension day. 3 Christ is going to the Father; hear a newborn nation cry earth made new by heaven's music: Glory be to God on high! Sing Hosanna, all believers; Hallelujah, shout his name! Jesus, universal Saviour, all the universe proclaim!
