Angels of Heaven, Ye who beheld Him fainting on the cross, And did Him homage, say, may mortal join The hallelujahs of the risen God? Will the faint voice and grovelling song be heard Amid the seraphim in light divine? Yes, He will deign, the Prince of Peace will deign For mercy to accept the hymn of faith, Low tho’ it be and humble. Lord of life, The Christ, the Comforter! thine advent now Fills my uprising soul. I mount, I fly Far o’er the skies, beyond the rolling orbs; The bonds of flesh dissolve, and earth recedes, And care, and pain, and sorrow, are no more.
