Salutis humanae Hymn for the Ascension
Of man's Salvation source, O Lord!
Jesus, delight for hearts to prove
The ransomed world's Creative Word,
And chaste light of all souls that love.What wond'rous mercy conquered Thee
Our sins upon Thyself to bear,
That guiltless dying on the Tree,
Our souls from death's jaws Thou might'st tear? Bursting the chaos of the grave
From captives Thou dost loose their chain;
And conquering death in triumph brave,
Dost at the Father's right hand reign. Let mercy urge Thee, by Thy grace
In full our losses to restore;
And granting us to see Thy face,
Enrich us with Thy blest light's store. Thou guide to Heaven, and Thou the way!
Be Thou the goal where our hearts tend
Be Thou our joy 'mid tears; we pray,
Be Thou our life's sweet prize and end. Amen.
from the Saint Andrew Daily Missal for the Vespers on Ascension Thursday
