Ascended Lord, accept our praise

From Oremus Hymnal

Ascended Lord, accept our praise,
as, with adoring eye,
from this dim earth we lift our gaze
to thy bright home on high.

For thou, Lord, shalt once more appear;
and we would seek thy grace
to tread our lowly pathway here,
until we see thy face.

And week by week we ask this day
fresh gleams of heavenly light,
to cheer us on our toilsome way,
and brighten all our night.

Then praise to thee, ascended Lord,
O Father, praise to thee,
and thou, O Spirit, be adored,
one God in Trinity.
