The Saviour to Glory is Gone

1. The Saviour to glory is gone;
    His suff’rings and sorrows are past;
His work is completed and done,
    And shall to eternity last.
Forever He lives to bestow
    The blessings He purchased so dear;
Our bosoms with gratitude glow,
    While to Him, by faith we draw near.

2. Expecting from Him to receive
    All fullness of glory and grace,
Rejoicing in hope, we believe,
    His promises thankful embrace.
Our King shall protect us from harms,
    Our Advocate make our plea good;
Our Shepherd will bear in His arms
    The sheep which He bought with His blood.

3. Our Prophet will point out the way
    Which leads to the mansions above;
Our Priest all our ransom shall pay,
    Our Friend of unchangeable love.
But while to the Lamb on His throne
    Our hearts and our voices we raise,
His glory exalted we own
    Above all our blessing and praise.
