Lord, We Rejoice That Thou Art Gone

The Lord therefore, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God. Mark 16:19

Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory? Luke 24:26

  1. Luke 24:51-53, Hebrews 1:1-4Lord, we rejoice that Thou art gone

    Revelation 3:21, Hebrews 1:1-4To sit upon Thy Father's throne;

    Luke 24:26, Mark 9:31Thy path of shame and suff'ring o'er,

    Hebrews 12:2, Psalms 30:5Thy heart shall grieve and mourn no more.

  2. Acts 10:38, Luke 24:41With joy our wond'ring hearts retrace

    Acts 10:38, John 1:17Thy ways on earth of power and grace;

    Luke 10:39, Deuteronomy 33:7We sit as learners at Thy feet,

    Psalms 19:10, Judges 14:18Thy words than honey far more sweet.

  3. Numbers 21:9, Galatians 6:14We gaze with wonder at Thy cross,

    1 Peter 2:21-24, 1 Peter 1:11With all its suff'ring, shame and loss,

    Acts 2:36, Luke 23:33Where Thou for us was crucified,

    1 Corinthians 15:3,4, John 19:30And, for our sins, a victim died.

  4. Luke 24:12, John 20:11We love to look within the tomb,

    Hebrews 2:9, Luke 24:4Robbed by Thy death of all its gloom;

    Mark 16:4, Matthew 28:2The stone for ever rolled away:

    1 Corinthians 15:54-57, Hebrews 2:14Thy death the power of death did slay.

  5. Luke 24:50-53, 1 Timothy 3:16We joy to see Thee, Lord, arise

    Luke 24:50-53, 1 Timothy 3:16Triumphant through the opening skies,

    1 Timothy 3:16, Revelation 5:9And hear all heav'n united own

    Ephesians 4:9,10, Revelation 5:12Thee worthy to ascend the throne.

  6. 1 Thessalonians 1:10, James 5:7Lord, now we wait for Thee to come,

    John 14:2,3, John 17:24And take us to Thy Father's home;

    1 Thessalonians 4:17, Psalms 16:11What everlasting joy 'twill be

    1 Thessalonians 4:17, Psalms 16:11To live eternally with Thee!
