Season 6 of Hymnology continues with “Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise” (#315 in Hymns of Grace).
Written by Charles Wesley and later expanded by Thomas Cotterill, this hymn has helped believers focus on the risen and ascended Lord for generations. Wesley wanted the church to see Christ lifted up — welcomed into heaven and seated in glory for the good of His people. These words lead us to the Lamb who died for sinners and now rules in glory.
Because Christ is risen and exalted, we live with confidence and peace. His reign assures us that death has been defeated and that every promise of God stands firm. The One who entered heaven with triumph now keeps and shepherds His people until the day we see Him face to face.

Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise
Hail the day that sees Him rise, Alleluia!
To His throne beyond the skies, Alleluia!
Christ, the Lamb for sinners giv’n, Alleluia!
Enters now the highest heav’n, Alleluia!
There for Him high triumph waits, Alleluia!
Lift your heads, eternal gates, Alleluia!
He has conquered death and sin, Alleluia!
Take the King of glory in, Alleluia!
Highest heav’n its Lord receives, Alleluia!
Yet He loves the earth He leaves, Alleluia!
Though returning to His throne, Alleluia!
Still He calls us all His own, Alleluia!
Still for us He intercedes, Alleluia!
His prevailing death He pleads, Alleluia!
Near Himself prepares our place, Alleluia!
He the firstfruits of our race, Alleluia!
There we shall with Him remain, Alleluia!
Partners of His endless reign, Alleluia!
See Him with unclouded view, Alleluia!
Find our heav’n of heav’ns in You, Alleluia!
