Ascension
Lift up your Heads great Gates, & sing,Now Glory comes, & Glories King;
Now by your high all-golden way
The fairer Heavn comes home to Day.
Hark now ye Gates are ope, & heare
The tune of each triumphant sphear,
Where every Angell as He sings
Keeps time with his applauding Wings,
And makes Heavns loftiest Roofe rebound
The Treasures of this Noble sound
Hallalujah:
Which our poor Tongues shall as they may
Restore to them againe & say
Hallelujah.
