He lives on high.
Isaiah 33:5
Words: Baylus B. McKinney, circa 1921.
Music: From Aloha Oe, by Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii, arranged by Baylus McKinney (🔊 pdf nwc).
Christ the Savior came from Heaven’s glory,
To redeem the lost from sin and shame;
On His brow He wore the thorn-crown glory,
And upon Calvary He took my blame.
Refrain
He lives on high, He lives on high,
Triumphant over sin and all its stain;
He lives on high, He lives on high,
Some day He’s coming again.
He arose from death and all its sorrow,
To dwell in that land of joy and love;
He is coming back some glad tomorrow,
And He’ll take all His children home above.
Refrain
Weary soul, to Jesus come confessing,
Redemption from sin He offers thee;
Look to Jesus and receive a blessing,
There is life, there is joy and victory!
