Hymn using same tune:

Tune 2: #143

 

 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!
