Our Ascended Lord

Dear Sav­ior

Thy suf­fer­ings are ov­er;

The work of re­demp­tion is done.

The Fa­ther calls back to His side

His dear­ly be­lov­èd Son.

O beau­ti­ful gates! un­fold

un­fold

For Je­sus

our priest

our king!

Ye angels of light

with harps of gold

Your loud hal­le­lu­jahs sing.

Hallelujah! our Ad­vo­cate reigns

And lives to re­deem us from sin;

We’ll op­en our hearts to Him now;

Dear Je­sus

come in

come in!

For now we re­mem­ber with joy

The Comforter pro­mised to come

To dwell in our hearts here be­low

And ne’er to leave us alone.

Then la­bor and wait till He come

His glory we then shall be­hold;

In His arms He will car­ry us home

As beau­ti­ful gates un­fold.
