802. Christ Who Left His Home in Glory

1 Christ who left His home in glory,
And upon the cross was slain,
Now is ris’n! Oh, tell the story,
That the Saviour lives again.

Refrain:
Hail Him! Hail Him!
Tell the story;
Hail! all hail!
Jesus lives forevermore.

2 While the world in peace was sleeping,
Early on that Easter day,
Came the faithful women, weeping,
But the stone was rolled away. [Refrain]

3 Christ, our loving Mediator,
Now with God for you and me
Intercedes, and our Creator
Hears and answers ev'ry plea. [Refrain]
