[Thee Thy first disciples saw]

If thou see me, when I am taken from thee, &c. —ii. 10.

Thee Thy first disciples saw,
When Thou didst from earth withdraw,
Prostrate they received the sign,
Then the plenitude Divine:
Still our faith with joyful eyes
Sees our parting Master rise,
Thus assured Thy Spirit shall come,
Make us His eternal home.
