He Lives on High

Composer: Baylus McKinney, ca. 1921

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.

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.

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!
