Genesis 28: Pursue the mystery
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Pursue the mystery!
The duteous angel-train
Ascending and descending see
Upon the Son of Man!
The ministerial host
Their heavenly Lord attend;
And us who in His mercy trust
He bids His guards defend:
Through Christ our living way
Sent from above they come,
Our spirits safely to convey
To our eternal home:
They watch each glorious heir,
And when from flesh released,
Up to our Father's throne they bear,
And lodge us in His breast.
