LyicsATTEND, ye children of your God;
Ye heirs of glory hear:
For accents, so divine as these,
Might charm the dullest ear.
Baptiz'd into your Saviour's death,
Your souls to sin must die;
With Christ your Lord, ye live anew,
With Christ ascend on high.
There, by his Father's side he sits,
Enthron'd 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 pow'r
To raise and fix us high.
