[Thou art gone up on high]
When He ascended up on high, He led, &c.
—iv. 8.
Thou art gone up on high
Our Saviour in the sky,
Principalities and powers
Thou hast spoil'd, and captive led,
Conquer'd all Thy foes and ours,
More than conquer'd in our stead.

Conquer'd all Thy foes and ours,
More than conquer'd in our stead.
Mysterious gifts unseen
Thou hast received for men,
Gifts for a rebellious race
Streaming from Thy throne above,
Contrite grief, and pardoning grace,
Humble fear, and purest love.

The Gift unspeakable
The Witness, Pledge, and Seal,
Heavenly Comforter Divine
Spirit of eternity,
Purchased by that blood of Thine
Him Thou hast received for me.

For me obtain'd He is,
For all Thine enemies,
Jesus, Thou the giver art,
Now Thy Father's name reveal,
Now the Holy Ghost impart,
God in man for ever dwell!
