Jesus, the Savior, from above

Verse 1

Jesus, the Saviour, from above, The Father's deep, descending Love Reach'd us, the lower Parts of Earth, And rais'd us to a heav'nly Birth: He who ascends to Glory is the same, As humbled to the Earth, from Heaven came.

Verse 2

Above the highest Heavens far, Earth's lower Parts now risen are; When God, who put our Nature on, Ascended, the triumphant Man, Where Thrones, Dominions, Powers, and Angels fall Before his Face, as filling all in all.

Verse 3

Pre-eminence to Jesus giv'n, To fill all Things in Earth and Heav'n: The Dispensation now is come, When God has gather'd all Things Home; All Things in Love are gather'd into one, Where Heav'n and Earth make one beloved Son.

Verse 4

Now Jesus fills all Things, we know; All Things above, and all below; That he fills all Things, we are sure, Hence all Things now to us are pure: In Faith's Idea no Vacuum we find, For he fills all, as God's eternal Mind.

Verse 5

Nothing but Jesus now we view; Old Things are lsot, and all Things new; He fills our Heart, our Eye, our Ear, And nought but Jesus doth appear. O holy Mystery! here ends our Want, Our Griefs, our Sorrows, Troubles, and Complaint.
