Hymn 344 – O CHRIST, Thou hast ascended | C&S English Hymnary

1. O CHRIST, Thou hast ascended Triumphantly on high By cherub guards attended And armies of the sky Let earth tell forth the story Our very flesh and bone Emmanuel, in glory Ascends His FATHER‘s Throne. 2. There, there Thou standest pleading The virtue of Thy Blood For sinners interceding Our Advocate with GOD; And every changeful fashion Of our brief joys and cares Finds though in Thy compassion And echo in Thy prayers. 3. Oh, for a priceless merit Of Thy redeeming Cross Vouchsafe Thy Sevenfold SPIRIT And turn to gain our loss Till we, by strong endeavour In heart and mind ascend, And dwell with Thee for ever In glories without end AMEN
