  1. 1Thou art gone up on high
  2. To mansions in the skies;
  3. And round Thy throne unceasingly
  4. The songs of praise arise:
  5. But we are lingering here,
  6. With sin and care oppressed;
  7. Lord, send thy promised Comforter,
  8. And lead us to Thy rest.
  9. 2Thou art gone up on high;
  10. But Thou didst first come down,
  11. Through earth's most bitter agony,
  12. To pass unto Thy crown;
  13. And girt with griefs and fears
  14. Our onward course must be;
  15. But only let that path of tears
  16. Lead us at last to thee.
  17. 3Thou art gone up on high;
  18. But Thou shalt come again,
  19. With all the bright ones of the sky
  20. Attendant in Thy train.
  21. Lord, by Thy saving power,
  22. So make us live and die,
  23. That we may stand, in that dread hour,
  24. At Thy right hand on high.
  25. 4Amen.
