Christ Who Left His Home in Glory

(CHRIST IS RISEN. 8.7.8.7 with refrain)
1.

Christ who left his home in glory,
and upon the cross was slain,
now is ris’n! O tell the story
that the Savior lives again.

Refrain:
Hail him, all hail the mighty Redeemer!
Hail him who robbed the grave of its pow’r!
Tell ev’ry nation, all is well,
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:
Hail him, all hail the mighty Redeemer!
Hail him who robbed the grave of its pow’r!
Tell ev’ry nation, all is well,
Jesus lives forevermore.

3.

Christ, our loving mediator,
now with God for you and me
intercedes, and our Creator
hears and answers ev’ry plea.

Refrain:
Hail him, all hail the mighty Redeemer!
Hail him who robbed the grave of its pow’r!
Tell ev’ry nation, all is well,
Jesus lives forevermore.
