Hymn Context Compare
Who turns our hell to Heav’n.
Up to the world of per­fect light;
’Midst shouts of vic­to­ry.
To their id­ols bend­ing low;
Well, then, let us haste to Beth­l’hem;
Shall throng the sac­red floor.
In low dis­guise Heav’n’s court is there.
In low­ly pos­ture meet.
But seek a ci­ty out of sight;
There is a dwell­ing place ab­ove;
In the eb­on sky,
And does Thy cup with love o’er­flow?
For man a bleed­ing vic­tim made.
The Lord, the Lord is ris­en, is ris­en.
Beautiful all who en­ter there—
Thy great sal­va­tion tell.
There is our home, our hope, our rest.
Look up, be­yond these clouds!
And, by vir­tue of His mer­its,
Lead, lead me to the living fount above;

Thither

Thither He bids us rise,
And faith and hope are turned to sight.
Their con­stant steps shall tend;
Let the bless­èd Gos­pel go!
For, of all Heav’n’s gifts, the sweet­est,
Where all are wont to meet,
And ear­ly hom­age pay
Our thank­ful trib­ute bring,
Aspiring to the plains of light,
The poor in spir­it go.
With up­lift­ed eye,
And let them all its sweet­ness know.
There in the land of praise ad­ore:
When this earth­ly body dies,
There shall my rest be long and sweet.
All filled with earth­ly care,
Our trea­sure and our heart be there;
Mount up, away, and lin­ger not,
Who for Christ’s dear name in this world
And never to another fountain fly,
