the hymn

Yesterday afternoon's Divine Hour Hymn:

O Lord Most High, eternal King,
By you redeemed, your praise we sing.
The bonds of death are burst by thee,
And grace has won the victory.
Ascending to the Father’s throne
You claim the kingdom as your own;
And angels wonder when they see
How changed is our humanity.
You are our joy, O mighty Lord,
As you will be our great reward;
Let all our glory be in thee
Both now and through eternity.
O risen Christ, ascended Lord,
All praise to you let earth accord,
Who are while endless ages run,
With Father and with Spirit, One.

Latin, Unknown
