Religion
Luke 20:9: Jesus to heaven is gone
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Jesus to heaven is gone,
That distant land unknown.
Long He from His vineyard stays,
Doth not in His flesh appear;
Yet in His protecting grace
Every day we find Him here.
The slothful worldly throng
Suppose He tarries long;
Life appears an age to them.
Till the' important moment 's o'er,
Then they wake out of their dream.
See the Judge, and sleep no more.
