Christ, the Lamb for sinners giv'n, Reascends his native heav'n. 2 There the glorious triumph waits: Lift your heads, eternal gates. He has conquered death and sin; Take the King of glory in! 3 See, the heav'n its Lord receives, Yet he loves the earth he leaves; Though returning to his throne, Still he calls mankind his own. 4 See, he lifts his hands above; See, he shows the prints of love. Hark! His gracious lips bestow Blessings on his Church below. 5 Still for us he intercedes; His prevailing death he pleads. He, the first of all our race, Near himself prepares a place. 6 There we shall with you remain Partners in your endless reign, There your face unclouded view, Find our heav'n of heav'ns in you.

Jesus Our Brother, Kind and Good

Meter: 8.9.9.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus our brother, kind and good, Was humbly born in a stable rude, And the friendly beasts around him stood, Jesus our brother, kind and good. 2 "I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown, "I carried his mother uphill and down. I carried his mother to Bethlehem town. I," said the donkey shaggy and brown. 3 "I," said the cow, all white and red, "I gave him my manger for his bed. I gave him my hay to pillow his head. I," said the cow all white and red. 4 "I," said the sheep with curly horn, "I gave him my wool for his blanket warm. He wore my coat on Christmas morn. I," said the sheep with curly horn. 5 "I," said the dove from rafters high, "I cooed him to sleep, so he should not cry. We cooed him to sleep, my mate and I. I," said the dove from rafters high. 6 Thus every beast by some good spell, in the stable dark was glad to tell of the gift he gave Emmanuel, the gift he gave Emmanuel.
