Author: John Chandler (1806-1876) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #686 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Hebrews 10:11-25 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, our hope, our heart's desire,
thy work of grace we sing;
Redeemer of the world art thou,
its Maker and its King.
2 How vast the mercy and the love
which laid our sins on thee,
and led thee to a cruel death,
to set thy people free!
3 But now the bonds of death are burst,
the ransom has been paid;
and thou art on thy Father's throne,
in glorious robes arrayed.
4 O may thy mighty love prevail
our sinful souls to spare;
O may we stand around thy throne,
and see thy glory there.
5 Jesu, our only joy be thou,
as thou our prize wilt be;
in thee be all our glory now
and through eternity.
6 All praise to thee who art gone up
triumphantly to heaven;
all praise to God the Father's name,
and Holy Ghost be given. Topics: Ascension Day; Atonement; Church Year Good Friday; Church Year Ascension; Dévotion; Future hope; Heaven; Jesus Names and images for; The Seventh Sunday of Easter Year C Languages: English Tune Title: METZLER'S REDHEAD NO. 66
