RCCG Hymn 185
Thou Art Gone up on High
"He that descended is the same also that ascended above the heavens." - Eph 4:10
Thou art gone up on high To mansions in the skies, And round Thy throne unceasingly, The songs of praise arise: But we are lingering here, With sin and care oppressed; Lord, send Thy promised Comforter And lead us to our rest.
Thou art gone up on high; But Thou didst first came down, Through earth's most bitter agony To pass unto Thy crown; And girt with grieves and fears Our onward course must be; But only let that path of tears Lead us at last to Thee.
Thou art gone up on high; But Thou shalt come again, With all the bright one of the sky Attendant in Thy train, O by Thy saving pow'r So make us live and die, That we may stand, in that dread hour, At Thy right hand on high.
