2 In the dreadful desert, where the Lord was tried,
There the faithful angels gathered at His side;

And when in the garden, grief and pain and care

Bowed Him down with anguish, they were with Him there.

3 Yet the Christ they honor is the same Christ still,
Who, in light and darkness, did His Father's will;
And the tomb deserted shineth like the sky,
Since He passed out from it into victory.

4 God has still His angels, helping, at His word,
All His faithful children, like their faithful Lord;
Soothing them in sorrow, arming them in strife,
Opening wide the tomb-doors, leading into life.
Phillips Brooks, 1877

1. Gold-en harps are sounding, An- gel-voic-es ring, Pearl-y gates are opened,

O-pened for the King. Christ, the King of Glo - ry,

Is gone up in tri- umph To His throne a-bove. All His work is end-ed;

Joy-ful-ly we sing, Je- sus hath as-cend- ed, Glory to our King! AMEN.
