Sovereign of Heav’n

Sovereign of Heav’n

who didst pre­vail

O’er death

and with Thy life-blood dye

The path by which we hope to scale

Yon star­ry sky.

Look down in mer­cy from Thy throne

At God’s right hand

O Lord

and see

Us who are lin­ger­ing here alone

Orphaned of Thee.

Hear us

O Christ

for we were born

Out of the tra­vail of Thy soul;

When by the spear Thy side was torn

To make us whole.

Thy toils and ang­uish at an end

Thou wear­est now a glo­ri­ous crown:

The hour is come; send

Sav­ior

send

Thy Spir­it down.
