EN 4517 Christ Is Gone Up
John.20.21
Versi Version 1
1
Christ is gone up; yet ere He passed
From earth, in Heav’n to reign,
He formed one holy Church to last
Till He should come again.
2
His twelve Apostles first He made
His ministers of grace;
And they their hands on others laid,
To fill in turn their place.
3
So age by age, and year by year,
His grace was handed on;
And still the holy Church is here,
Although her Lord is gone.
4
Let those find pardon, Lord, from Thee,
Whose love to her is cold:
Bring wanderers in, and let there be
One Shepherd and one fold.
5
And now we haste with thankful feet
To seek our Savior’s face;
And in the holy Church to meet,
His chosen dwelling place.
