After 40 days,
And not a day more
Asked they who were come together with the Lord
‘Wilt thou at this time restore again
The kingdom to your people, Israel?’
He said ‘It is not for you
To know moments or hours
Which the Father hath put in His power
But you’ll receive the power
Of the Holy Ghost
To be my witnesses around the globe'
Then He was lifted up into the sky
And a cloud received Him from their sight
As they beheld Him
Going up to heaven,
Behold two men stood by them
Stood there two men!
Stood there two men!
Dressed in white garments!
Spreading their gaze over
The Catholic Church!
‘Why then, O men, why, then O men
Stare thee up above to Heaven?
The same Lord as He hath left
Shall in like manner return'
Do not forget
That He hath said,
‘I am with you always’
Be His witnesses
Stay faithful to the Name
For under the guise
Of wine and bread
Hail, His True Presence
Upon His Blood, His Flesh
Shalt thy souls be fed
The glorious Head
He Hath gone ahead
To where the Body is sure to follow
When the Bridegroom’s voice
Echoes through the Universe
Dominus est!
Dominus est!
Ecce Panis Angelorum!
Allelulia!
Vivat Christus Rex!
Dominus est!
Dominus est!
Rex Angelorum!
Allelulia!
Vivat Christus Rex!
Dominus est!
Dominus est!
Rex Angelorum!
Allelulia!
‘Consummatum est’
