Our Ascended Lord

Representative Text

1 Dear Sav­ior, Thy suf­fer­ings are ov­er;
The work of re­demp­tion is done.
The Fa­ther calls back to His side
His dear­ly be­lov­èd Son.

Refrain:
O beau­ti­ful gates! un­fold, un­fold,
For Je­sus, our priest, our king!
Ye angels of light, with harps of gold,
Your loud hal­le­lu­jahs sing.

2 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! [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

4 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. [Refrain]
