Christ the Savior hath ascended
1
|
Christ the Savior hath ascended To the heavens far above, Crowned with glory and with honor By the Father God in love; He hath made Him Head of all things, His supremacy to prove. |
2
|
From this Christ to God ascended Hath the Spirit been outpoured, Poured upon the Church, His Body, That His members be empow’red; Thus the Lord of all in heaven Thru His Church will be adored. |
3
|
In the flesh by incarnation, Into man He God hath brought; By His death and resurrection, Into God He man hath brought; God and man together mingled, In Himself is fully wrought. |
4
|
Now in heaven by ascension He is seated on the throne; All the lordship, all the headship, He Himself doth fully own; And by pouring out His Spirit, He as such might be made known. |
5
|
By this outpour, His descension On the Church was realized; ’Tis by this, that in His Spirit All the Church He hath baptized; Thus the baptism of the Spirit Was forever actualized. |
6
|
Hallelujah, ’tis accomplished, And accomplished once for all! Hallelujah, we’re included, All included, great or small! Praise Him, He hath sent the Spirit And baptized the Church withal! |

This truly is a wonderful hymn. Stanza 3 is my favorite:
In the flesh by incarnation,
Into man He God hath brought;
By His death and resurrection,
Into God He man hath brought;
God and man together mingled,
In Himself is fully wrought.
What a Christ! What a God! What a Church! What a Goal...New Jerusalem!
