VERSE 1
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.
VERSE 2
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.
VERSE 3
Thou art gone up on high;
But Thou shalt come again,
With all the bright one 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.
