 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!
