The Ascension Hymn of the Venerable Bede

bedeIn this minisode, the lyrics are read of an early 8th century hymn written by the English monk and scholar, the Venerable Bede (672/673 – 735), celebrating the Ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ back to Heaven. It is an interesting coincidence of church history that the author of this Ascension hymn died on the Feast of the Ascension in the year 735.
