Text: | Beyond the Clouds of Heaven |
Translator: | John Brownlie |
Beyond the clouds of Heaven,
The Lord of life ascends;
Behold Him rise towards the skies,
Who for our race was given.
He came to earth Whose grace
Hath made our vileness clean;
That we may rise towards the skies,
And serve before His face.
He dwelt on earth Who gave
Himself for sinful man,--
That we may rise towards the skies,
Whom he came down to save.
We would no longer gaze,
O Christ, to where Thou art,--
But, that we rise, towards the skies,
Do Thou Thy servants raise.
