1 No track is on the sunny sky,
No footprints on the air;
Jesus hath gone: the face of earth
Is desolate and bare.
2 The Upper Room is Heaven on earth;
Within its precincts lie
All that earth has of faith, or hope,
Or heaven-born charity.
3 One moment—and the silentness
Was breathless as the grave;
The fluttered earth forgot to quake,
The troubled trees to wave.
4 He comes! He comes! that mighty Breath
From Heaven’s eternal shores;
His uncreated freshness fills
His Bride, as she adores.
5 Earth quakes before that rushing blast,
Heaven echoes back the sound,
And mightily the tempest wheels
That Upper Room around.
6 One moment—and the Spirit hung
O’er all with dread desire;
Then broke upon the heads of all
In cloven tongues of fire.
