tr., John Brownlie 6.6.8.6 I Beyond the clouds of Heaven, The Lord of life ascends; Behold Him rise towards the skies, Who for our race was given. II He came to earth Whose grace Hath made our vileness clean; That we may rise towards the skies, And serve before His face. III He dwelt on earth Who gave Himself for sinful man, -- That we may rise towards the skies, Whom he came down to save. IV We would no longer gaze, O Christ, to where Thou art, -- But, that we rise, towards the skies, Do Thou Thy servants raise. |
