Acts 1 v.3-11 parts
**********
At the great Ascension-tide - Alleluia!
Forty days seen, not denied - Alleluia!
The risen Christ did appear - Alleluia!
Disciples did see Him there - Alleluia!
They would receive power sure - Alleluia!
The Spirit with them e\'ermore - Alleluia!
Christ would send Him, we witness - Alleluia!
To all ends of earth no less - Alleluia!
Then they beheld Him, and lo - Alleluia!
A cloud received Him, was so - Alleluia!
He was taken up, they saw - Alleluia!
Him there in person no more - Alleluia!
While they looked up, two in white - Alleluia!
Clothing appeared shining bright - Alleluia!
Said, You men of Galilee - Alleluia!
Why your gaze to heaven still be? - Alleluia!
This same Jesus, ascended - Alleluia!
He o\'ercame, risen from dead - Alleluia!
Taken up to heaven, we say - Alleluia!
Shall return one day same way - Alleluia!
