Mark 16: His course, but not His office ends
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
His course, but not His office ends,
When Jesus in the clouds ascends.
And enters that most holy place,
(The holiest place- not made with hands,)
Our great High-priest with God, He stands.
He stands before His Father's face.
Jehovah's co-eternal Son
Returns triumphant to His throne,
And whom the heaven of heavens receives,
Seated at God's right hand again
The cause of sinners to maintain
Our Advocate for ever Uves.
