He Came from Glory, Glory Above



The ocean, vast and shimmering blue,
Speaks of the Lord’s great Love for you;
He came from glory, glory above
To show you just how much He loves…      1

He came from glory, glory above!
Oh, wonderful story, story of love!
Story that never, ever will end,
Story of our Saviour… (Refrain)               

The King saw His people in distress,
By sin and sorrow, in slavery pressed;
He came from glory, glory above
To show them just how much He loves…    2

His royal vesture, in splendid array,
He graciously cast them all away!
He came from glory, glory above
To show us just how much He loves…        3

He left the streets of gold behind,
Walked in the dust of humankind;
He came from glory, glory above
To show the poor how much He loves…     4

Creator of all became carpenter’s son,
Veiled in fleshed was the Holy One;
He came from glory, glory above
To show the world how much He loves…   5

He came to Calvary’s lonely Hill
Outside the gates of Jerusalem;
He suffered, died, was crucified;
From sin’s weight, He did not hide…
He came from glory, glory above
The Universe saw His Love…                  6                 

He’s coming again from glory above!
He’ll take us to His Kingdom of Love
Story that never, ever will end;
Story of our Saviour… (end with this )       7
