THOU art gone up on high, To mansions in the skies; And round Thy throne unceasingly But we are lingering here, With sin and care oppress'd; Lord, send Thy promised Comforter, Thou art gone up on high, But Thou didst first come down, Thou art gone up on high; Attendant in Thy train. Oh! by Thy saving power, So make us live and die, That we may stand in that dread hour men. |
