Thou Art Gone Up on High
Ascension📖 "He that descended is the same also that ascended above the heavens." -Eph. 4:10.
f p cr
Thou art gone up on high To mansions in the skies, And round Thy throne unceasingly, The songs of praise arise: But we are lingering here, With sin and care oppressed; Lord, send Thy promised Comforter And lead us to our rest.
f p cr mp cr
Thou art gone up on high; But Thou didst first came down, Through earth's most bitter agony To pass unto Thy crown; And girt with grieves and fears Our onward course must be; But only let that path of tears Lead us at last to Thee.
f mf cr f
Thou art gone up on high; But Thou shalt come again, With all the bright ones of the sky Attendant in Thy train, O by Thy saving pow'r So make us live and die, That we may stand, in that dread hour, At Thy right hand on high.
