342. Jesus Came From Heaven

1
Jesus came from heaven,
 
Many years ago;
 
Left His Father’s glory
 
For this world of woe.
2
Here He lived and suffered,
 
Here He also died,
 
On the cross of Calvary
 
He was crucified.
3
’Twas for sin He suffered,
 
In the sinner’s stead,
 
And His Father raised Him,
 
Even from the dead.
4
Now in brightest glory
 
Jesus lives on high,
 
And His voice is calling,
 
Calling from the sky.
5
"Come to Me, ye weary,
 
I have rest to give";
 
Hearken then unto Him,
 
And your soul shall live.
6
He has peace and pardon
 
For the sin-sick soul;
 
Come to Him believing,
 
He will make you whole.
