Thou Hast Ascended Up On High

by MRS. E. TOKE

Thou Hast Ascended Up On High
"This same Jesus will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven" Acts I: 11
Thou hast ascended up on high,
And be forever glorified;
Before thy father, there in heav'n
Thou plead forgiving 'every one
Heavenly hosts have raised their voice,
To sing the glorious praise of Thee;
For thou art worthy to receive
Glory, and honour and praise and power.
Thou hast ascended up on high;
But thou dist first come down below,
Through earth's most bitter misery
To pass unto the crown above.
And girt with griefs and fears below,
Our onward course to thee must be;
But only let this path of tears
Lead us at last to thee in heaven
Thou hast ascended up on high;
But thou shalt come again, to earth
With all the bright ones of the sky
Attendant in thy heav'nly train.
Lord, by thy saving power and might
So make us live and die, on earth
That we may stand that dread hour
At thy right hand on high above.
