English poem
Hymn LV. Another
by Anonymous
Hosanna to Jesus on high! Another has enter'd his rest; Another is 'scap'd to the sky, And lodg'd in Immanuel's Breast. The Soul of our Brother is gone To heighten the Triumph above; Exalted to Jesus his Throne! Exalted by Jesus's Love!
How happy the Angels that fall Transported at Jesus's Name! The Saints, whom he soonest shall call To share in the Feast of the Lamb! No longer imprison'd in Clay, Who next from this Dungeon shall fly? Who first shall be summon'd away? My merciful God—Is it I?
O Jesus, if this be thy Will, That suddenly I should depart, Thy Council of Mercy reveal, And Whisper the Call to my Heart: O give me a Signal to know If soon thou wouldst have me remove, And leave the dull Body below, And fly to the Regions of Love.
