Tune: St Leonards
(\'May the mind of Christ my Saviour\')
John 16 v.25-28 and v.33
**********
Jesus said, I tell you plainly
I did come forth, here now see
From the Father into the world
Now His plan unfurled
And I again shall to Him go
In my Ascension, this know
Shall go to my Father again
Soon it would be then
For He would His Father\'s will do
Life of Him, God\'s Son, we view
Risen from death, forth days more
He showed on earth sure
Though He did go, we may still pray
He will still hear us today
As promised, the Spirit He sent
Us, that His intent
He speaks to us, that peace we may
Have in Him from day to day
In the world troubles, but good cheer
He has o\'ercome here
