This is yesterday's quote before the pastoral prayer. It was chosen because yesterday was Ascension Sunday when the Church remembers Jesus being received into heaven as the new Lord over heaven and earth.
See, the Conqueror mounts in triumph,
See the King in royal state,
Riding on the clouds His chariot
To His heavenly palace-gate;
Hark, the choirs of angel voices
Joyful halleluiahs sing,
And the portals high are lifted,
To receive their heavenly King.
William Wordsworth
