He rises and creation upward moves
To heaven, drawn by Him who conquered death
With heart so perfect, filled with Father’s love
As two breathe in and out the Spirit’s breath.
To water of the earth comes Holy Wind
And sanctifies all water with His Blood
To wash away all taint of Adam’s sin,
Prepare us to receive His Holy Food.
We eat and drink and life in Him we taste,
And we for life eternal are made new,
Then look and see all Eden cleansed of waste,
As all creation is from heaven viewed.
We look and see above the Kingly Throne
Of Him who stooped to make us all His own.
