Caelos ascendit hodie

Caelos ascendit hodie
Jesus Christus Rex gloriae,
Sedet ad Patris dexteram,
Gubernat caelum et terram. Alleluia.

Iam finem habent omnia,
Patris Davidis carmina,
Iam Dominus cum Domino,
Sedet in Dei solio. Alleluia.

In hoc triumpho maximo
Benedicamus Domino.
Laudatur Sancta Trinitas.
Deo dicamus gratias. Alleluia. Amen.

Today has gone up into glory
Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
who sits on the right of the Father
and who rules heaven and earth. Alleluia.

Now all the songs of the Patriarch David
have been fulfilled.
Now the Lord sits with the Lord
on the throne of God. Alleluia.

In this great triumph
let us bless the Lord.
Let the Holy Trinity be praised.
Let us give thanks to God. Alleluia. Amen.
