Heavenward still my thoughts arise,

When He to his board invites me;

Then my spirit upward flies,

Such a ray from heaven lights me:

When on earth this food has ceas’d,

Comes the Lamb’s own Marriage-feast.

Heavenward still my spirit wends,

That fair land by faith exploring;

Heavenward still my heart ascends,

Sun, and moon, and stars out-soaring:
