Hymns of the Russian Church ‎#53

53. He Who made the earth His home

He Who made the earth His home,
Infant holy, 'Alleluia!
Now ascends the azure dome;--
Praise Him, 'Alleluia!

Long on rugged ways He trod,
Footsore, weary, 'Alleluia!
Calling wanderers back to God;--
Praise Him, 'Alleluia!

54
Gone from earth, His wanderings o'er,
Toil is ended, 'Alleluia!
See Him upward, heavenward soar;--
Praise Him, 'Alleluia!

He Who bare the Cross in woe,
Faint, and falling, 'Alleluia!
Seeks the path where sunbeams go;--
Praise Him, 'Alleluia!

On the awful cross He hung,
Faint, and bleeding, 'Alleluia!
Death and hell their arrows flung;--
Praise Him, 'Alleluia!

'Alleluia! all is past,--
Death and dying, 'Alleluia!
Life immortal's won at last;--
Praise Him, 'Alleluia!

'Alleluia! all is ended,
All He came for, 'Alleluia!
And our Victor hath ascended;--
Praise Him, 'Alleluia!
