O Christ, Our Joy, Gone Up on High

Author: Anonymous; David T. Morgan Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. O Christ, our joy, gone up on high To fill Thy throne above the sky, How glorious dost Thou shine! Thy sovereign rule the worlds obey, And earthly joys all fade away In that pure light of Thine. 2. To Thee in prayer Thy people bow; O may our sins Thy pardon know, The cleansing of Thy grace; Then lift our hearts to Thee above, On wings of faithfulness and love, To seek Thy holy place. 3. So, when the sudden call shall sound, And with Thy robe of clouds around Thou, Christ, shalt come once more, Thyself our judge may’st turn away The penalty our sins should pay And our lost crowns restore. 4. Ascended up from mortal sight, Jesu, we praise Thee in the height, Our joy, our great reward; Whom with the Father we confess And with the Holy Spirit bless, One ever glorious Lord.
