ASCENSION-Day.

VVho on the Water VValkt, now Climbes the Aire;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 appeare,
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, Shewes us what to Doe.
To Heaven He's gone for us there to Provide,
Blest they whose God's their Harbinger, and Guide.

Looke up, My Soule, (and with blest Stephen) SeeThy JESUS Standing on th' right hand of God:
And then thinke Earth too meane a Place for thee.
Whom He Redeem'd with his most pretious Bloud.
Sweet Jesu, Thou wast pleas'd to Buy me, Come,
(I'm not the Worlds, but Thine) and Fetch Me Home.
