To Him who sits above,

Ps 68.18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity
captive
|
Far over all,
|
Isa 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the
inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the
heavens as a gauze curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to
dwell in;
|
Rises the voice of love,
|
So 1:7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou
feedest, where thou makest [thy flock] to rest at noon: for why
should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy
companions?
|
That eager call
|
Song 2.14 let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for
sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely
|
From the vast desert dry,
|
Deut 32.10 a desert land, and the waste howling wilderness
|
Here where He died:
|
Rev 11.8 the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and
Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified

Come 'tis the Spirit's cry,
|
Rev 22.17 the Spirit and the bride say, Come

Shine on the longing heart,

arise up from among the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon
thee.

Bright Star of Day,

hearts
|
Calling Thy spouse on high
|

|
Close to Thy side!

embrace me
|
Come! 'tis the Spirit's cry,
|

|
Come! saith the bride.
|
Re 22:20 Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
