Christ is ascended on high

Lord God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
to you be all glory and praise.

Father God,
from everlasting to everlasting,
enthroned in glory beyond imagination.
Fill the temple of our bodies
with the glory of your holy presence.
Humble us before the beauty
of your uncreated majesty.
Receive our praise,
O God, our King.

Lord Jesus Christ,
a dying Saviour,
and risen Lord.
Our eyes did not see you ascend to your Father,
by faith we see you there,
at his right hand,
your Father and our Father.
From your throne of glory,
extend your reign over all creation,
may your Kingdom come.
Accept us as citizens of your Kingdom,
guide our service in your Kingdom,
lead us in your triumph.
Receive our praise,
O Christ, our King.

Holy Spirit,
Lord and giver of life,
promise of the Father,
gift of the ascended Son.
Make us one with our King
as you work in our hearts.
Reveal the power of the King
in our sin weakened lives;
display the glory of the King
through our renewed and forgiven lives.
Make known to us Christ,
enthroned at the Father’s right hand.
Receive our praise,
O Spirit, our King.
