('Hail the day that sees Him rise')
Acts 1 v.8-11
**********
You shall receive power when - Alleluia!
The Holy Ghost is come then - Alleluia!
Upon you, and you shall be - Alleluia!
Christ's witnesses, so said He - Alleluia!
Even unto ends of earth - Alleluia!
Telling the gospel's true worth - Alleluia!
They there with Him did behold - Alleluia!
He ascended, it was told - Alleluia!
Cloud received Him out of sight - Alleluia!
Then two men in clothing white - Alleluia!
Asked them there, Why do you stand - Alleluia!
Gazing to heaven on land? - Alleluia!
The same Jesus, ascending - Alleluia!
Shall be the one descending - Alleluia!
In like manner shall return - Alleluia!
And all shall Him then discern - Alleluia!
Though defying gravity - Alleluia!
Yet He resurrected be - Alleluia!
Returns to His Father's throne - Alleluia!
Until second coming shown - Alleluia!

This has got more alleluias than Leonard Cohen
Real ones too!
Your not getting caught up in the clouds are you?
Yes lol. You ascended? Gone up in a puff of smoke? I tried to do so, as The Birdman, but didn't make it. lol Me wings snapped off.
Notice my economising, saving on 'H's, not calling them 'Hallelujahs'?
