[Who is this we see ascend]
Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, &c.
—viii. 5.
Who is this we see ascend
From the desolate wilderness,
Leaning on her Bosom-friend,
Weeping till His face she sees:
Scattering all her griefs and fears,
Lo, He lays the veil aside,
Wipes away His church's tears,
Shows her His unspotted bride.
From the desolate wilderness,
Leaning on her Bosom-friend,
Weeping till His face she sees:
Scattering all her griefs and fears,
Lo, He lays the veil aside,
Wipes away His church's tears,
Shows her His unspotted bride.
Thus, out of its state forlorn
Every soul on Christ reclined
Shall with Him at last return,
Leave its cares and sins behind:
Thus by Jesu's arm sustain'd
I shall with my Lord be bless'd,
Rise into that holiest land,
Perfect love's eternal rest.

Leave its cares and sins behind:
