<p>This tune is apparently named after Williams&#8217; home town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllandtysiliogogogoch. In English, the name means &#8220;church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel near the rapid whirlpool of the Church of St. Tysillio by the red cave.&#8221;</p>

<p>Hail the day that sees Him rise, Alleluia!<br>
To His throne above the skies, Alleluia!<br>
Christ, awhile to mortals given, Alleluia!<br>
Reascends His native heaven, Alleluia!</p>
<p>There the glorious triumph waits, Alleluia!<br>
Lift your heads, eternal gates, Alleluia!<br>
Christ hath conquered death and sin, Alleluia!<br>
Take the King of glory in, Alleluia!</p>
<p>Circled round with angel powers, Alleluia!<br>
Their triumphant Lord, and ours, Alleluia!<br>
Conqueror over death and sin, Alleluia!<br>
&#8220;Take the King of glory in! Alleluia!&#8221;</p>
<p>See! the heaven its Lord receives, Alleluia!<br>
Yet He loves the earth He leaves, Alleluia!<br>
Though returning to His throne, Alleluia!<br>
Still He calls the world His own, Alleluia!</p>
<p>See! He lifts His hands above, Alleluia!<br>
See! He shows the prints of love, Alleluia!<br>
Hark! His gracious lips bestow, Alleluia!<br>
Blessings on His church below, Alleluia!</p>
<p>Still for us His death He pleads, Alleluia!<br>
Prevalent He intercedes, Alleluia!<br>
Near Himself prepares our place, Alleluia!<br>
Harbinger of human race, Alleluia!</p>
<p>Master, (will we ever say), Alleluia!<br>
Taken from our head to day, Alleluia!<br>
See Thy faithful servants, see, Alleluia!<br>
Ever gazing up to Thee, Alleluia!</p>
<p>Lord, though parted from our sight, Alleluia!<br>
Far above yon azure height, Alleluia!<br>
Grant our hearts may thither rise, Alleluia!<br>
Seeking Thee beyond the skies, Alleluia!</p>
<p>Ever upward let us move, Alleluia!<br>
Wafted on the wings of love, Alleluia!<br>
Looking when our Lord shall come, Alleluia!<br>
Longing, gasping after home, Alleluia!</p>
<p>There we shall with Thee remain, Alleluia!<br>
Partners of Thine endless reign, Alleluia!<br>
There Thy face unclouded see, Alleluia!<br>
Find our heaven of heavens in Thee, Alleluia!</p>
