Viri Galilaei / Ascendit Deus [Ye men of Galilee / God is ascended] (Acts 1:11; Psalm 47:5; Psalm 103:19) – Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina

Acts 1:11; Psalm 47:5; Psalm 103:19 [Latin]

¹¹ Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

⁵ God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

¹⁹ The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
