Lyrics:

Ascendens Christus in altum, alleluia. 
Captivam duxit captivitatem, alleluia. 
Dedit dona hominibus, alleluia.  

Ascendit Deus in jubilatione, 
et Dominus in voce tubae, alleluia. 
Dedit dona hominibus, alleluia.

English translation:
Christ rose up, alleluia. 
And took captivity prisoner, alleluia. 
He gave gifts to the men, alleluia.  

God rose in jubilation, 
and the Lord with the sound of the trumpet, alleluia
. He gave gifts to the men, alleluia.
