1 On Olivet a little band
around their risen Master stand;
and after charge and blessing giv'n,
He passes from them into heav'n.
Wistful their eyes,
but angels twain cheer them
with glorious words:
"Again one day shall Jesus even so
return as you have seen Him go."

2 Till then in heav'n He does remain,
true God, at God's right hand to reign;
true Man, at human woes to grieve,
true God, Almighty to relieve.
For ev'ry soul in ev'ry need,
He ever lives to intercede;
presenting there within the veil,
a sacrifice that cannot fail.

3 Our heav'nly great High Priest He stands,
by pierced feet and pierced hands,
by bleeding brow and riven side,
He lives to plead for whom He died.
Whom have we, Lord, in heav'n but Thee?
Like ships safe moored on stormy sea,
our souls in peril, with Thee there find
anchorage of hope and prayer.

4 Since we are raised with Christ,
we seek the things above where, at His seat,
we see Christ reigning over all;
empow'ring us to heed His call.
Set loose from earth, and evermore
fast bound to that eternal shore,
so all our life and love shall be,
Ascended Master, hid with Thee!
