Jesus, our Lord, to heaven is gone

Verse 1

Jesus our Lord to heav'n is gone, And sits at God's right hand! Where angels, him their sovereign own, And are at his command.

Verse 2

Lo he ascends with pow'r and might, To heav'n from whence he came-- And there he reigns in glorious light, And angels praise his name.

Verse 3

For that he once himself abas'd, And died to set us free; He is by all in heaven prais'd, And will for ever be.

Verse 4

Once more on earth he is to come, To judge the human race And take his ransom'd people home, To know his pow'r and grace.
