Stichera of the Ascension
ὁ κύριος ἀνελήφθη εἰς οὐρανοὺς
I Now the Lord from earth ascending, Seeks the throne of heaven again, That the , descending, Might with sinful men.
II Clouds His chariots, upwards rising Bear Him proudly to the skies; Heaven beholds a sight surprising, Man above the angels rise.
III Lift your gates ye powers supernal; All ye nations come adore; For the Christ to realms eternal, Goes to dwell forevermore.
