Christ's ASCENTION.
1
VVho on the Water Walk't, now Climbs the Air;And without Dying, thus He goes to Heaven:
Although His Habitation now be there,
Yet we on Earth are not of Him bereaven.
He's like those Lights which in the Skies appear,
Though there His Body be, His Raies are here.
2
Now He's Ascended up on high, lo, HeGives us His Hand that we may get up too:
By Him our Strength, we VValk, our Light, we see:
He makes us Able, Shews us vvhat to Do.
13
Blest they whose GOD's their Harbinger, and Guide.
3
Look up, My Soul, (and with blest STEPHEN) SeeThy JESUS Standing on th' right hand of God.
And then think Earth too meane a Place for thee,
VVhom He Redeem'd with his most pretious Blood.
Sweet JESU, Thou vvast pleas'd to Buy me, Come,
(I'm not the World's but Thine) and Fetch Me Home.
