And Have the Bright Immensities
Verse 1
And have the bright immensities
Received our risen Lord,
Where light years frame the Pleiades
And point Orion's sword?
Do flaming suns His footsteps trace
Thro' corridors sublime,
The Lord of interstellar space
And conqueror of time?

And conqueror of time?
Verse 2
The heav'n that hides Him from our sight
Knows neither near nor far;
A little candle sheds its light
As surely as a star.
And where His loving people meet
To share the gift divine,
There stands He with unhurrying feet;
There heav'nly splendors shine.
Knows neither near nor far;
A little candle sheds its light
As surely as a star.
And where His loving people meet

There stands He with unhurrying feet;
There heav'nly splendors shine.
This hymn reflects on the majesty of Christ's ascension and heavenly glory.
