Hymn Book ‎#35

35. Since Christ has gone to heaven, His home

1 Since Christ has gone to heaven, His home,
I too that home one day shall share,
And in this hope I overcome
All doubt, all anguish, and despair;
For where the Head is, well we know,
The members He hath left below
In time He surely gathers there.

2 Since Christ has reached His glorious throne
And mighty gifts henceforth are His,
My heart can rest in heaven alone,
On earth my Lord I ever miss;
I long to be with Him on high,
And heart and thoughts do always fly,
Where now my only treasure is.

3 From Thy ascension let such grace,
Dear Lord, be ever found in me,
That steadfast faith may guide my ways
With step unfaultering up to Thee,
And at Thy voice I may depart
With joy to dwell where Thou, Lord, art.
O Saviour, grant this prayer to me!
