4 Him though highest heaven receives, Still he loves the earth he leaves ; Though returning to his throne. Still he calls mankind his own. 5 See, he lifts his hands above ! See, he shows the prints of love ! Hark, his gracious lips bestow Blessings on his church below ! 6 Still for us his death he pleads ; Prevalent he intercedes ; Near himself prepares our place, Harbinger of human race. 7 Master, (will we ever say,) Taken from our head to-day ; O/o Incarnation, See thy faithful servants, see. Ever gazing up to thee. 8 Grant, though parted from our sight, High above yon azure height, Grant our hearts may thither rise, Following thee beyond the skies. 9 Ever upward let us move, Wafted on the wings of love ; Looking when our Lord shall come, Longing, gasping after home. 10 There we shall with thee remain, Partners of thy endless reign ; There thy face unclouded see, Find our heaven of heavens in thee.

By thy own right hand of power Thou hast exalted him/ Sent the mighty Conqueror Thy people to redeem : King of saints, and Prince of peace, Him thou hast for sinners given, Sinners from their sins to bless, And lift them up to heaven.
