11750. No Track Is On The Sunny Sky

1 No track is on the sunny sky,
No footprints on the air;
Jesus hath gone: the face of earth
Is desolate and bare.

2 The Upper Room is Heaven on earth;
Within its precincts lie
All that earth has of faith, or hope,
Or heaven-born charity.

3 One moment—and the silentness
Was breathless as the grave;
The fluttered earth forgot to quake,
The troubled trees to wave.

4 He comes! He comes! that mighty Breath
From Heaven’s eternal shores;
His uncreated freshness fills
His Bride, as she adores.

5 Earth quakes before that rushing blast,
Heaven echoes back the sound,
And mightily the tempest wheels
That Upper Room around.

6 One moment—and the Spirit hung
O’er all with dread desire;
Then broke upon the heads of all
In cloven tongues of fire.
