Homecoming

 

Like men of Galilee we strain from earth

And follow where our Brother Jesus goes

To glory, power left at human birth,

Reserved till from the deep descent he rose.

He bears our manhood glorified above

The joy in heaven for this only Son

Returning to His Father, filled with love

Enduring, filled with all the hopes of men.

His wounds, O God our Father, plead that we

Who trust His love be with Him evermore.

Our tears of gladness flow with Yours as He

Prepares our place, His kindred at the door.

Forgive Your children scanning still the skies

For cloud to bring His face before our eyes.

Blessed Feast of the Ascension and Novena to the Holy Spirit as we prepare for Pentecost!
