It is Ascension Day. I have chosen an old Charles Wesley hymn for my morning meditation. I believe Jesus ascended into heaven. A view many dismiss today. We do not often sing this hymn nor do we celebrate Ash Wednesday and Ascension Day.
God is gone up on high,
With a triumphant noise;
the clarions of the sky
Proclaim the angelic joys!
God in the flesh below,
For us He reigns above;
Let all the nations know
Our Jesu's conquering love!
All power to our great Lord
Is by the Father given;
By angel hosts adored,
He reigns supreme in heaven.
High on his holy seat
He bears the righteous away;
His foes beneath His feet
Shall sink and die away.
His foes and ours are one,
Satan, the world, and sin;
But He shall tread them down,
And bring His kingdom in.
Till all the earth, renewed
In righteousness divine,
With all the hosts of God
In one great chorus join.
(Refrain: Join all on earth, rejoice and sing;
Glory ascribe to glory's King).
God bless you today.
