CCC. Christians, as risen with CHRIST, exhorted to seek Things above.

HEARKEN, ye Children of your GOD;
Ye Heirs of Glory, hear;
For Accents so divine as these
Might charm the dullest Ear.

Baptiz'd into your Saviour's Death
Your Souls to Sin must die;
With Christ your Lord ye live anew,
With Christ ascend on high.

There at his Father's Hand he sits
Enthron'd divinely fair;
Yet owns himself your Brother still,
And your Forerunner there.

Rise from these earthly Trifles, rise
On Wings of Faith and Love;
Jesus your choicest Treasure lies,
And be your Hearts, above.

But Earth and Sin will drag us down,
When we attempt to fly;
LORD, send thy strong attractive Force
To raise and fix us high.
