Grant, tho' parted from our sight, High above yon azure height: Grant our souls may thither rise, Foll'wing thee beyond the skies. 4 Ever upward let us move, Wafted on the wings of love; Looking when our Lord shall come, Longing, gasping after home, There we shall with thee remain, Partners of thine endless reign; There thy face unclouded see, Find our heav'n of heav'n in thee.
