Lord, we rejoice,
that Thou art gone
To sit upon Thy Father's throne;
Thy path of shame
and suffering o'er,
Thy heart shall grieve
and mourn no more.
With joy our wondering
hearts retrace
Thy ways on earth
of power and grace;
We sit as learners at Thy feet,
Thy words than honey
far more sweet.
We gaze with wonder
at Thy cross,
With all its suffering,
shame and loss,
Where Thou for us wast crucified,
And for our sins a ransom died.
We love to look within the tomb,
Robbed by Thy death of all its gloom,
The stone for ever rolled away;
Thy death the power of death did slay.
We joy to see Thee, Lord, arise
Triumphant through
the opening skies;
And hear all heaven united own
Thee worthy to ascend the throne.
Lord, now we wait
for Thee to come,
And take us to Thy Father's home;
What everlasting joy 'twill be
To spend eternity with Thee!
