Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#95

95. O Jesus, Who Art Gone Before

1 O, Jesus, who art gone before
To Thy blest realms of light,
Oh, thither may our spirits soar,
And wing their upward flight.

2 Make us to those delights aspire,
Which spring from love to Thee,
Which pass the carnal heart's desire,
Which faith alone can see;

4 To guide us to Thy glories, Lord,
To lift us to the sky,
Oh, may Thy Holy Ghost be poured
Upon us from on high!

5 Praise to the Father and the Son,
Who dwells aloft in heaven;
And to the Spirit, Three in One,
Let equal praise be given.

Amen.
