LyicsAttend, you children of your God;
you heirs of glory, hear;
For accents so divine as these
Might charm the dullest ear.
Baptized into your Saviour's death,
Your souls to sin must die;
With Christ your Lord you live anew,
With Christ ascend on high.
There by his Father's side he sits,
Enthroned divinely fair,
Yet owns himself your brother still,
And your forerunner there.
Rise from these earthly trifles, rise
On wings of faith and love;
Above 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 power
To raise and fix us high.
