Jesus is gone above the Skies

Hymnal: Appendix, Containing a Number of Hymns, Taken Chiefly from Dr. Watts's Scripture Collection #XII (1760) Lyrics: 1 Jesus is gone above the Skies, Where our weak Senses reach Him not, And carnal Objects court our Eyes To thrust our Saviour from our Thought. 2 He knows what wandering Hearts we have, Apt to forget his lovely Face; And, to refresh our Minds He gave These kind Memorials of his Grace. 3 The Lord of Life this Table spread With his own Flesh and dying Blood; We on the rich Provision feed, And taste the Wine, and bless our God. 4 Let sinful Sweets be all forgot, And Earth grow less in our Esteem; Christ and his Love fill ev'ry Thought, And Faith and Hope be fix'd on Him. 5 While He is absent from our Sight, 'Tis to prepare our Souls a Place, That we may dwell in heav'nly Light, And live for ever near his Face. 6 Our Eyes look upwards to the Hills Whence our returning Lord shall come; We wait thy Chariots awful Wheels, To fetch our longing Spirits Home.
