Nine of the ten pieces in this new collection by Franklin Ashdown are based on hymns chosen because of their pairing with texts related to Christ’s Ascension. The tenth is a joyous original work inspired by the scripture. Besides providing useful material in varied characters for this season, many of the hymn tunes have general texts as well and can thus be used throughout the year.
Hail the Day that Sees Him Rise Look, Ye Saints, the Sight Is Glorious Rejoice, the Lord of Life Ascends On Christ's Ascension Now I Build Ascension Alleluias See the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing O Clap Your Hands The Lord Ascendeth Up on High
