From heaven the Savior came

1 From heav'n the Saviour came,
To bless mankind on earth;
He suffer'd grief, contempt,and shame,
To give our comforts birth.

2 He bled, and groan'd and died,
Our owful debt to pay,
The Lamb of God was crucified,
To put our sins away.

3 In rising from the dead,
He triumph'd o'er our foes;
Captivity he captive led,
Then unto heaven he rose.

4 There ever lives our Lord,
To plead for us with God;
Lord, we believe thy faithful Word,
And triumph in thy blood.
