New Praises be given to Christ newly Crowned Lyrics

1. New praises be given to Christ newly crowned.

Who back to His heaven a new way hath found;

God’s blessedness sharing before us he goes.

What mansions preparing, what endless repose!

2. This glory still praising on the thrice holy ground

The apostles stood gazing His Mother around!

With hearts that beat faster, with eye full of love,

They watched while their Master ascended above.

3. “No star can disclose Him,” the bright angles said;

“Eternity knows Him, your conquering head:

Those high habitations He leaves not gain,

Till, judging nations, on earth He shall reign.”

4. Thus spoke they, and straightway, where legions defend,

Heaven’s glittering gateway, their Lord they attend,

And cry, looking thither, your portals let down

For him who rides hither in peace and renown.

5. They asked, who keep sentry in that blessed town,

“Who thus claimeth entry, a king of renown?”

“The Lord of all valiance,” that herald replied,

Who Satan’s battalions laid low in their pride.”

6. Grant, Lord, that our longing may follow Thee there,

On earth who are thronging Thy temples with prayer;

And unto Thee gather, Redeemer, Thine own,

Where thou with Thy Father dost sit on the throne.
