He Is Gone. A Cloud Of Light
Has Received Him From Our Sight;
High In Heaven, Where Eye Of Men
Follows Not, Nor Angel’s Ken;
Through The Veils Of Time And Space,
Passed Into The Holiest Place;
And The Toil, The Sorrow Done,
All The Battle Fought And Won
He Is Gone. And We Remain
In This World Of Sin And Pain:
In The Void Which He Has Left
On This Earth, Of Him Bereft,
We Have Still His Work To Do,
We Can Still His Path Pursue;
Seek Him Both In Friend And Foe,
In Ourselves His Image Show
He Is Gone. We Heard Him Say,
‘Good That I Should Go Away.’
Gone Is That Dear Form And Face,
But Not Gone His Present Grace;
Though Himself No More See,
Comfortless We Cannot Be:
No, His Spirit Still Is Ours,
Quickening, Refreshing All Our Powers
He Is Gone. Towards The Goal
World And Church Must Onward Roll:
Far Behind We Leave The Past;
Forward Are Our Glances Cast:
Still His Words Before Us Range
Through The Ages, As They Change;
Wheresoever The Truth Shall Lead,
He Will Give Whatever We Need
He Is Gone. But We Once More
Shall Behold His As Before;
In The Heaven Of Heavens The Same,
As On The Earth He Went And Came.
In The Many Mansions There,
Place For Us He Will Prepare:
In That World Unseen, Unknown,
He And We May Yet Be One
He Is Gone. But Not In Vain.
Wait Until He Comes Again:
He Is Risen, He Is Not Here,
Far Above This Earthly Sphere;
Evermore In Heart And Mind
Where Our Peace In Him We Find,
To Our Own Eternal Friend,
Thither ward Let Us Ascend
